Apply cybersecurity capabilities effectively in cloud environments by accounting for shared responsibility, rapid change, identity-centric controls, and configuration-driven risk.

Cloud changes how security is delivered: control is often configuration- and identity-driven, and responsibility is shared with providers.

Outcomes

  • Clear accountability under shared responsibility models
  • Faster detection and remediation of cloud misconfigurations
  • More consistent guardrails across cloud accounts and environments
  • Better risk visibility for critical cloud-hosted services

What to consider

  • Shared responsibility and supplier dependency management
  • Identity-centric access control and privileged access governance
  • Configuration baselines and drift at scale
  • Telemetry coverage for cloud-native services and APIs
