What is Cloud Security?
Cloud Security — Cloud security encompasses the policies, technologies, controls, and best practices used to protect data, applications, and infrastructure hosted in cloud environments (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS).
Cloud Security Explained in Detail
As organisations migrate workloads to AWS, Azure, GCP, and SaaS platforms, the shared responsibility model means security teams must manage configurations, identities, and data protection that the cloud provider does not cover.
Common Cloud Security Challenges
- Misconfiguration — Public S3 buckets, overly permissive IAM roles, and exposed databases.
- Identity sprawl — Excessive permissions and orphaned service accounts.
- Data exposure — Sensitive data stored without encryption or proper access controls.
- Shadow IT — Unapproved cloud services used by teams without security oversight.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
CSPM tools continuously scan cloud environments for misconfigurations and compliance violations, providing automated remediation recommendations.
