The Importance of Cloud Computing Security

Information Technology (IT) is in a boom. As we see the increases in the growth of the IT sector, the cost of the maintenance of the hardware, development platform and/or software increases, reducing the amount of revenue available for achieving the core business. To overcome these challenges, the concept of Cloud Computing introduced. However, many are unclear about what exactly ‘Cloud Computing ‘means.

Our explanation of Cloud Computing:

Cloud Computing refers to the process of sharing resources (such as hardware, development platforms and/or software) over the internet. Either it enables on-demand network access to store and process data in a privately owned, publically owned or a hybrid cloud. These resources are accessed mostly on a pay-per-use or subscription basis.

Handling confidential and large volumes of data on the cloud for Software as a Service Provider Application (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is getting more challenging for organizations. Customers are growing concerned about the confidentiality of data, loss of data, privacy risk and transparency of operational control over data. Cloud Security testing helps organizations test for these concerns.

Some benefits of Cloud Security Testing

      • Users get the same protection, whether they are in the HQ, branch offices, on the road, or at home.
      • Integrated security controls and cloud services correlate information to give you a complete picture of your entire network.
      • Provides fast local breakouts and our single-scan multi-action technology enables our security services to scan simultaneously for faster performance.
      • Cloud security consolidates point products into an integrated platform; there is no hardware or software to buy or manage.
      • Cloud intelligence means that any time a threat is detected anywhere in the cloud, protection is deployed everywhere. 
      • Appliances are expensive to buy and own.

    The following are Cloud Security Pain Points we solve:

    As you transition to meet the growing digital demands of consumers, there are increasing demands for adopting cloud solutions for dynamic scalability, data storage, and computing power. However, cloud adoption also comes with security risks that are different from those affecting traditional network infrastructures.PCS will ensure visibility and ensure the necessary cloud security measures in place, despite limited IT personnel, to make potential data breaches easier to detect.Cyber criminals look to take over cloud environments through account takeover or malware and then sit there to detect and take sensitive data.With high profile data breaches serving as looming threats, organizations still must ensure they have the necessary security controls in place. PCS’s cloud vulnerability management solutions help your organization identify, patch, find malicious exploits for systems/applications and protect your data.Contact us to secure your data and technology!
