What is the Importance of Cloud Application
Security Services?

Introduction

• The applications that we use every day are made
  available over diverse networks and these
  networks are mutually connected to the cloud.
  This makes our information networks more exposed
  to multiple types of security threats and
  breaches.
• By using innovative and advanced cloud
  application security services, such fraudulent
  activities can be mitigated and our information
  networks can be made more secure.

What is Cloud Application Security?

• Microsoft Office 365, Google G Suite, Slack, and
  Box are the most commonly used cloud environments
  by businesses and individuals.
• Cloud application security is a compilation of
  security standards specifically intended to
  ensure the stability and protection of
  cloud-based infrastructures, data and
  applications. It enables us to shield our data
  from threats and set authentication standards for
  users and devices.

Most Common Cloud Security Threats

• The four most common cloud application security
  threats faced by individuals and organizations
  are as follows
• Misconfiguration of Security Setting This is one
  of the main causes of cloud data breaches. Cloud
  infrastructure is built in such a way that data
  remains easily accessible and shareable. This
  poses a great risk of unauthorized access and use
  of data. Since organisations have multiple cloud
  deployments and often lack the skill of
  protecting them, misconfiguration can happen,
  which in turn can increase the chances of
  attacks.

Most Common Cloud Security Threats

• Insecure Interfaces/APIs The cloud service
  providers (CSPs) offer a number of application
  programming interfaces (APIs) to their customers.
  These will be well-documented so as to offer ease
  of use. But, on the other hand, customers have to
  protect the interface, which if not done
  properly, poses potential threats. Also, the
  document is subject to exploitation if a
  cybercriminal gets hold of it.

Most Common Cloud Security Threats

• Unauthorized Access Cloud deployments are more
  prone to security breaches if there is no proper
  security configuration. Anybody can access a
  cloud system using public internet.
• Account Hijack This happens due to weak
  passwords. Weak passwords are an opportunity for
  attackers to hack your system and steal all
  sensitive data.

• Ensures proper access by implementing strong
  authentication measures
• Provides efficient and secure collaboration of
  information networks
• Cloud application security services can be
  configured according to the exact requirements of
  a business
