How To Conduct A Cloud Security Assessment
SearchSecurity, Friday, August 18,2023
Cloud environments are complicated by visibility issues, misconfigurations and more. Cloud security assessments are one way to ensure everything is protected.
The cloud presents organizations with a security challenge. By conducting a cloud security assessment, organizations can discover vulnerabilities before adversaries do.
A cloud security assessment (CSA) evaluates the cloud infrastructure for vulnerabilities, configuration weaknesses and potential threats. It analyzes the configuration of cloud service provider accounts or subscriptions and reviews the possible threats from the internet and within the cloud infrastructure itself. The organization gets a breakdown of potential gaps in design and controls implementation, as well as the potential attackable surface area and its risks.
