Countries, Cities and Companies have all traversed down the path of digitization in the hope of delivering on-demand services. In the case of enterprises, digital transformation has been engineered to drive process improvements, deliver newer customer experience, and biz model reengineering to capitalize on emerging trends
At the centre of this transformation has been public cloud infrastructure, which has emerged as the backbone for innovation-driven growth. By embracing the cloud, enterprises can modernize their IT infrastructure and conjure solutions to serve customers digitally in new and innovative ways. Digital transformation & cloud adoption has further accelerated in recent times, as COVID-19 pandemic forced businesses to setup remote working at an unprecedented scale. Public Cloud services enabled fast & smooth migration to “working from home” by enabling connectivity from anywhere and supporting essential services such as video conferencing & real time communication
This though exposes organizations to previously unseen cyber security risks. The increased attack surface alongside limited security capabilities, when it comes to public cloud, means organizations are more vulnerable than ever. To mitigate the risks, organizations must adopt a "assume breach" mentality and build a strong security culture within the organization
In this talk I will discuss:
Cloud security risks & challenges
Some examples of vulnerabilities and how they have been used in attacks
Assume breach mentality and how to use it to protect cloud workloads
The need for Zero Trust. Made for the cloud!
Security is everybody's business
