Cloud Security.

Cloud security differs from cybersecurity in several ways. In a public cloud environment, responsibility for security is shared between the Cloud Service Provider and user. In the traditional environment, the responsibility falls exclusively to the user. Security controls in a cloud environment are usually virtualized and distributed across multiple physical locations, which makes monitoring and managing security more challenging.

Cloud security, also called cloud computing security, works by implementing a multilayered security approach that includes prevention and detection. This may include implementing access controls, encryption and regular software updates. Additionally, cloud security often involves implementing security solutions designed for cloud environments, such as cloud access security brokers (CASB), static application security testing (SAST), secure access service edge (SASE), cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud workflow protection platform (CWPP) and cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM).

• Managed SOC is a third-party service that provides a complete security operations center solution to organizations.
• Managed SOC is staffed by security professionals and analysts who monitor and respond to security threats on behalf of the organization.
• Managed SOC services can include 24/7 monitoring, alert triage and investigation, threat hunting, incident response, and security reporting.
• Managed SOC vendors use advanced security technologies and tools to monitor customer networks and systems, detect threats, and respond to security incidents.
• Managed SOC services are typically more comprehensive and can include a wider range of security services than an internal SOC.

Cloud security risks are the threats and vulnerabilities that can compromise the security of cloud environments. These risks may include unauthorized access, data breaches, DDoS attacks, and insider threats. Cloud security risks can vary depending on the type of cloud environment and the security controls in place.
