Organizations that use infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP are able to enjoy the benefits of the public cloud but with increased control over the underlying infrastructure. However, with this greater control comes greater responsibility for security. Ensuring that IaaS platforms are properly configured and protected is critical for any enterprise. What is the best way to accomplish this? Find out in this episode of Glass Class.
A common scenario we’re seeing today is companies moving their data off-premises and developing custom applications in infrastructure-as-a-service platforms (IaaS), such as Amazon Web Services (AWS.) Opting to use AWS is cheaper and more scalable than the traditional way of doing things, but the burden of securing data stored in AWS still falls on the customer. This is why cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools are becoming a necessary part of data security strategies for enterprises in every industry.
When migrating to the cloud, enterprises are faced with a number of security concerns that, if not properly addressed, can expose data on a wide scale. While threats in the cloud are not inherently more dangerous than those faced in traditional environments, they are different and do require specialized tools to address them. In our latest episode of Glass Class, we cover the top cloud security priorities that organizations should keep in mind in 2019. To learn more, watch the video below.
As companies begin moving data from on-premises solutions to the cloud, the need to protect sensitive information and prevent data breaches becomes increasingly important. On top of this, many companies must also adhere to certain compliance frameworks, such as the CIS Benchmark, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. While meeting these challenges can be highly difficult if the proper tools are not in place, Bitglass makes the journey to cybersecurity and regulatory compliance pain free.
