Cloud Governance: Driving Success and Security in the Cloud
Cloud governance is crucial to maintaining security in a cloud environment. Check out this eBook to learn why.
What is cloud governance?
Cloud governance refers to the framework that allows organizations to define their requirements for security, cost management, and ongoing oversight of their cloud operations. It is essential because it helps businesses run efficiently while safeguarding against risks such as data breaches and compliance violations. A strong cloud governance strategy ensures that processes are optimized and consistently followed.
How can organizations ensure visibility in the cloud?
To enhance visibility in the cloud, organizations should utilize tools like Amazon GuardDuty for threat detection, Amazon Macie for data security, and AWS Security Hub for a comprehensive view of security alerts. These services help maintain an accurate and up-to-date view of cloud activities, which is crucial for effective governance, especially in complex environments.
What are the risks associated with misconfigurations?
Misconfigurations can lead to significant vulnerabilities, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data and non-compliance with regulations like HIPAA and PCI. To manage these risks, organizations should implement continuous monitoring and remediation processes using AWS services like AWS Config and AWS IAM Access Analyzer, which help identify and address configuration issues proactively.
