What is Cloud Security Assessment?

While the cloud hosting provider is responsible for the underlying infrastructure that supports the cloud, it is the organization’s responsibility to ensure the overall cloud security that includes customer information security, platform security, network security, and encryption etc.

Cloud security assessment gives a boost to the security of the applications in the public cloud with constant monitoring and identifying potential threats that can be caused by wrong configurations, not creating access restrictions, and using non-standard deployments.

The cloud security assessment covers all the platforms whether it is the public cloud, private cloud or hybrid cloud. The Audit program extends much further than the normal IT security checks. It also includes a review of the AWS specific services. The technical professional working and monitoring the client applications perform a review of the Managed AWS cloud architecture to make sure the AWS instances are totally secure.

They perform penetration tests by simulating cyber-attacks against your servers to expose possible vulnerabilities. It is a way to augment web application firewall(WAF). The experts also do a configuration test using different combinations of software and hardware to get the best configuration results that would suit your business requirements. The other assessment tests performed include firewall testing, protection of root account, using of data encryption, data backup & data recovery solutions, and more.
