Cybersecurity vs. Cloud Security: What is the Difference?

Real Threats to Cybersecurity and Cloud Security

According to data from Eurostat, enterprises are choosing the public cloud for three reasons: improved productivity, flexible ‘scale as you go’, and a more business-friendly payment plan. In this blog post, we will discuss the differences between cybersecurity and cloud security so you’ll have a fundamental understanding of how these protective measures work independently and when they should be combined. Whether you’re familiar with cybersecurity or new to technology, this article will provide insight into their unique characteristics, roles, and importance within your operations.

How CASB Solutions are Improving Cloud Security

The Evolution of Adopting CASBs in Cybersecurity

Cloud access security brokers (CASBs) are on-premises, or cloud-based security policy enforcement points, typically placed between cloud service consumers and their cloud service providers (CSB). The solutions often combine and add enterprise security policies when cloud-based resources are accessed. Further, CASBs have the ability to consolidate multiple types of security policy enforcement. For example, security policies include authentication, single sign-on, authorization, credential mapping, device profiling, encryption, tokenization, logging, alerting, malware detection/prevention, and more. In this article, we will compare traditional DLP solutions to modern-day CASB solutions to look at some of the advantages that modern CASBs bring to the table.

Nearly 50% Of Businesses Had a Cloud-Based Data Breach or Failed Audit

Organizations Treat Cloud Security Different than On-Prem

Last year’s Thales Global Cloud Security Study, commissioned by Thales and conducted by 451 Research, reported that 45% of businesses it surveyed had experienced a cloud-based data breach or failed audit in the past 12 months, up 5% from the previous year. Despite these incidents, the vast majority (83%) of businesses still fail to encrypt half of the sensitive data they store in the cloud. According to the study, one-fifth (21%) of businesses host most of their sensitive data in the cloud.

Defense Technologies Shaping Cybersecurity

The Anatomy of Today’s Business Cybersecurity Defenses

One theme over the last 20 years is that threat actors are successfully targeting not just individual computers, but also entire networks of systems and devices. In response, security vendors began developing new methods of protection, such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, endpoint detection systems, and more. We’ll review some of the more recently adopted technologies and protocols to start in this blog post then discuss what our next generation of technology cyber-armor requires.

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is Changing SecOps

How Will XDR Technology Help Thwart Attacks?

XDR emerged as a market category in response to the complexity of collecting, aggregating, analyzing, and investigating the thousands of alerts thrown off by dozens of security technologies. The basic premise of the solution is a simple one: XDR is a category of threat detection, investigation, and response solutions that work across all threat vectors in a company’s infrastructure, such as network, endpoint, and cloud, rather than just one piece. Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is the next evolution of endpoint detection and response (EDR) which we will discuss as well as the benefits of the technology.
