More companies are switching from on-premises systems to public cloud services, ensuring long-term growth and digital resilience. But as their implementations grow, they begin to realize that their exposure to cyberattacks and other risks grows as well. Cybersecurity is an essential practice for successful businesses. Adapting to business growth is a good problem to have, but without an eye on cloud security, that growth could cost you in the long run.

The concept of storing sensitive data in the cloud was once seen as ludicrous. Now, businesses are moving into cloud security at an exponential rate with the promise of larger storage space, lower costs, and improved performance. However, with such great benefits come severe risks.

Containerization is a rapidly evolving technology in cloud-native applications. Just like computing systems, containers consist of packages of software programs with all the vital elements like binaries, files, and libraries for running an application in the environment from anywhere. Containers are lightweight, and DevOps teams develop applications and deploy services using them. Moreover, organizations also use these containers to deploy and scale the DevOps infrastructure like the CI/CD tools.

Ask any security professional how to effectively measure risk and many will give a simple answer…

A comprehensive organizational strategy and robust company security policy are crucial for effective cybersecurity. A company needs to make a concerted effort to design, execute, and follow through with a plan to deal with cyber-risk management from top to bottom. There is no one-size-fits-all strategy for the needs of enterprises in managing cyber risk. But in order to maintain strong system security in the face of constant threats, there are some core principles that every company should follow.

In the past decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of cloud services across companies. This increase has made it harder for security teams to fully understand where and what data exists when so many applications and third parties exist. According to Gartner forecasts, spending on the cloud is estimated to reach $500 billion in 2022 and $600 billion in 2023. This rapid growth is due in part to the advantages that the cloud offers, such as increased agility, flexibility, and scalability.
