Addressing Cloud Security Risks – Safeguards and Countermeasures

Safeguards and countermeasures are critical for addressing cloud security risks, such as unauthorized access and data breaches. Implementing strong access controls, such as multi-factor authentication and role-based access control (RBAC), ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive data and systems. Encryption, both in transit and at rest, protects data from being intercepted or compromised. Regular security audits, continuous monitoring, and IR plans enable organizations to detect and respond to potential security incidents swiftly. These measures collectively enhance the security posture of cloud environments, protecting against malicious activity and ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.

Now, let’s look at how to address certain risks from a safeguard and countermeasures perspective.
