Cloud Security

Cloud technologies provide enormous flexibility and scalability – but they also introduce new risks. A strong cloud security strategy is essential to protect sensitive data, maintain compliance, and ensure trust in digital services.

1. Access Control & Identity Management

Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and centralized identity services such as Azure AD or Okta. This ensures that only authorized users can access critical cloud resources.

2. Data Encryption & Backup

Always encrypt your data – both in transit (TLS) and at rest. Perform regular automated backups and store them securely in separate geographic regions. Encrypted backups protect you even in case of ransomware or accidental deletion.

3. Monitoring & Threat Detection

Implement monitoring tools such as Wazuh, Splunk, or Microsoft Sentinel to track unusual cloud activity and detect threats in real time. Integrate logs from firewalls, endpoints, and applications to achieve full visibility.

4. Compliance & Data Protection

Cloud systems must meet strict data protection standards such as the GDPR. Define clear data handling procedures, use privacy-by-design principles, and regularly audit your configurations and access controls.

5. Conclusion

A secure cloud environment doesn’t happen by accident – it requires strategy, monitoring, and continuous improvement. IT Service Level1 helps companies implement robust cloud security architectures, monitoring systems, and compliance frameworks.

Tip: Combine cloud monitoring with regular backups and Wazuh dashboards to ensure maximum visibility and resilience.
