Description

• Cloud security testing has emerged as a new service model wherein security-as-a-service providers perform on-demand application security testing exercises in the cloud. This essentially allows an organization to save costs, while at the same time, maintaining a secure application.

Four areas of cloud security:

• Visibility and compliance. One of the key constructs of zero-trust computing is continuous improvement.
• Compute-based security.
• Network protections.
• Identity security.

process:

• An audit of a cloud environment is similar to an IT audit. Both examine a variety of operational, administrative, security and performance controls.

We use the following steps to audit cloud security

Gather evidence.

Interview.

Analyze.

Compile results.

Prepare the final report.

Take action.

Benefits :

• Cloud security includes advantages like: Centralized protection: Cloud-based computing centralizes applications and data security. Minimized expense: The best advantage of consuming cloud storage for security is that there is no need to invest in dedicated hardware or other equipment.
