Securing cloud accounts and workloads.
How to choose · Cloud security
Choose cloud posture tooling by how well it prioritises findings, how it reaches your accounts without excessive permissions, and how it hands work to engineers. Check multi-cloud coverage, identity analysis, infrastructure-as-code scanning and exception handling. A tool that lists thousands of unranked issues creates fatigue; context about reachability and privilege is what makes findings actionable.
Comparison · Cloud security
Cloud providers secure the underlying infrastructure, while customers remain responsible for identities, configuration, data and applications. Native services are deeply integrated and often sufficient for a single cloud. Independent tools add consistency across providers and separation from the platform you are monitoring. The decision hinges on estate size, number of clouds and the skills you have to run each layer.
Problems & fixes · Cloud security
Most cloud exposure comes from a short list of recurring mistakes: publicly reachable storage, overly broad permissions, long-lived access keys, disabled logging, open administrative ports and unprotected secrets in code. Fix them by inventorying accounts, restricting identities, enabling audit logs, then using templates and guardrails so the same errors cannot return.
Requirements · Cloud security
A secure cloud foundation separates environments into distinct accounts, protects the top-level identity with strong authentication, centralises identity through a single directory, turns on audit logging in a protected location and sets organisation-wide guardrails. Doing these early is far easier than retrofitting them after teams have built on a flat, shared account.
