Cloud Providers’ Cybersecurity Measures Go Under the Spotlight
As financial institutions increasingly rely on cloud services, ensuring the security of sensitive data and applications has become a top priority. In response, cloud providers have implemented robust cybersecurity measures to protect their customers from emerging threats.
Access Control and Segregation
Cloud providers have adopted advanced access controls like:
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for cloud management portals
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for privileged accounts
- Logical segregation of production and non-production environments, limiting data sharing between them to prevent unauthorized access
Benefits
- Enhanced security through strict access control
- Reduced risk of data breaches
- Improved compliance with regulatory requirements
Ransomware Protection
Cloud providers are taking steps to protect against ransomware attacks by:
- Educating staff on red flags like suspicious links and attachments
- Running attack simulations to improve response times
- Maintaining regular backups offline for rapid recovery
Benefits
- Reduced risk of data loss or corruption
- Improved incident response capabilities
- Enhanced business continuity
High-Risk Area Security
Cloud providers are focusing on high-risk areas like:
- Remote access and high-value applications
- Enforcing MFA across all access points, including VPNs
- Continuous monitoring to detect suspicious activities in real-time
Benefits
- Reduced risk of unauthorized access
- Improved incident response capabilities
- Enhanced security posture
