Master Cloud Security Essentials for Modern Applications
Modern applications often rely on scalable and maintainable cloud backends for high availability and terabyte-scale operations. However, this shift to the cloud introduces new security challenges due to:
- Limited security visibility: Cloud environments can be complex and opaque, making it difficult to monitor activity and identify potential threats.
- Resource and data scale: The sheer volume of resources and data involved in cloud deployments increases the attack surface and potential damage.
- Account takeover risk: Complete compromise of a cloud account can have catastrophic consequences for an organization
