What Is Cloud Security?

Cloud security refers to the combination of policies, technologies, and practices used to protect cloud-based systems, data, and applications. It ensures that information stored in cloud environments—whether private, public, hybrid, or community—is kept confidential, intact, accessible, and private. Cloud security solutions are designed with multiple layers of protection across the infrastructure to support data safety and ensure uninterrupted business operations.
 

Why Is Cloud Security Important?

With the increasing adoption of cloud computing, the need for strong cloud security measures has grown significantly. Many data breaches and cyberattacks are caused by weak security configurations, overly complex controls, or human error. Ensuring robust cloud security is critical for the reliable operation of cloud services.

Organizations that transition to the cloud must ensure their security measures align with internal needs and comply with relevant regulations and legal standards.

Following the guidelines of ISO/IEC 27017 helps both cloud service providers and users implement effective security controls specifically designed for cloud environments. These standards assist in selecting appropriate controls based on risk assessments and cloud-specific requirements.

Moreover, cloud service providers handling personally identifiable information (PII) can apply the ISO/IEC 27018 guidelines to comply with laws and regulations focused on PII protection.
