Guide to Sharpening Security in the Public Cloud
Businesses are turning to public cloud environments such as Microsoft® Azure® for greater scalability, flexibility and cost savings.
In fact, 52% of organizations have migrated services and workloads to cloud-based platforms to modernize the end-user experience.
On the other hand, 45% of IT professionals are on the road to switching to cloud architectures for improved identity and access management.
Heading to the dark cloud?
Common vulnerabilities in publicly accessible software include:
- Limited oversight and control over malicious activities
- backup and reliability when data is lost
- Enforcing security policies in place
- Protecting virtual networks such as Azure Virtual Network (VNet)
