The cloud is a dynamic environment in which things are constantly evolving, but the aims of security remain the same: ensure that systems function as intended and only as intended.

CLOUD SECURITY

Cloud security is the protection of data stored online via cloud computing platforms from theft, leakage, and deletion

IAM – Tight Controlling

Traditional security is concerned primarily with securing a trusted perimeter, or "fortress." A cloud environment, on the other side, is defined by its dispersion throughout the internet, with dynamically changing endpoints and several interconnecting layers. The focus of any cloud security model should thus be on identity and access management, as well as strengthening authorization for questionable accounts (this is where techniques like behavior modelling are especially powerful).

Scalability

As storage and processing are dynamic, a cloud security architecture should be able to account for infrastructure change. In other words, it must be aware of the current status of the system and adjust its policies accordingly.

Visibility and compliance

As more cloud resources are added and new attack routes are discovered, the threat environment is changing at a breakneck pace. Dynamic systems' increased complexity is a liability: security breaches can spread quickly, are harder to detect, and attackers are more sophisticated. Keeping up with a fast evolving security world necessitates being proactive.

As a result, numerous fundamental notions must be redefined:

The majority of cloud security vulnerabilities are not as serious as they appear. They may be due to simple human mistakes or misconfigurations; nonetheless, the public cloud is often vulnerable.

Ending remarks

    Security is an important aspect and it cannot overstate, but it is here to stay. For security professionals, it is an especially big challenge because the scope of responsibility is no longer static, but continuously evolving both to cater to the infrastructure’s needs and to respond to new threats So, we can say that Cloud security plays an important role in the Cloud industry.
