Introduction: ascending to the next level of Cloud Security solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cloud computing is steadily being adopted by more and more companies, but the tradeoff that comes with the adoption of cloud computing services<\/a> is the requirement for high levels of cloud security.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite rapid levels of cloud adoption and consequent cloud security improvement, the state of cloud security may not have necessarily improved. According to a 2019 survey by SANS, \u201cunauthorized access of cloud environments or assets by attackers has significantly increased\u201d. This survey found that reported incidents increased to 31% vs 19% in 2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can find our complete guide to cloud security management<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what exactly is the state of cloud security and its future?<\/strong> To determine that, areas undergoing improvement and areas of concern need to be analyzed in how they need to be addressed, and overall trends that outline the current trajectory for cloud security must be evaluated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Future scope of Cloud Computing Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cloud security has grown immensely within organizations following the growth of the cloud computing services industry. Cloud service providers<\/a> have ensured that security tools will act as cybersecurity for business processes, allowing for <\/strong>significant growth in the cloud environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Growth of cloud technologies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Security groups are gaining better experience on how to protect cloud environments from cyberattacks as businesses shift from on-premises technology to future technologies like cloud computing<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past few years, the previous lack of cloud security sophistication is being corrected with on-the-job experience from security incidents and the widespread availability of certifications and training for cloud users and multiple cloud providers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has also been a growth in organizations focused on the security oversight of cloud technologies<\/strong> in a bid to ensure confidential computing. Some examples of such groups include the <\/strong>Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and the OWASP Cloud Security Project. These groups aim to provide best practices for securing cloud computing technologies and help identify areas of growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Adoption of DevSecOps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many companies in the technology industry are adopting DevOps<\/a> and DevSecOps practices in their attempts at <\/strong>digital transformation<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

These practices shift security to the beginning of developmental processes rather than trying to fix everything at the end. By focusing on security earlier in projects, firms can reduce vulnerabilities during software development and deployments and prevent the need for more human intervention in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The automation that typically arrives alongside <\/strong>DevOps practices<\/strong><\/a> has also increased security. <\/strong>Using automation when configuring services, users, etc., ensures companies continue to maintain consistency across systems and reduces the risk of misconfiguration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Tooling and function improvements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The increased centralization of security data has made it easier for most businesses and their security teams to monitor incidents and respond accordingly. <\/strong>Solutions that provide centralization to companies are especially important in hybrid systems and expanding cloud computing deployments. One of them is <\/strong>SIEM \u2013 Security information and event management <\/strong>which helps to detect, analyze and respond to security threats before they deal harm to business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two particularly useful tools for companies desiring centralization and consistency in the cloud are Security Orchestration, Automation<\/strong> and Response (SOAR)<\/strong> and Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
