Cloud Security

The set of policies, controls, and technologies used to protect data, applications, and infrastructure hosted in cloud environments from breaches and unauthorized access.

Cloud security encompasses the strategies and tools used to protect data, applications, and services hosted in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.). As organizations move more workloads to the cloud, the attack surface shifts: misconfigured storage buckets, overly permissive IAM roles, and exposed API endpoints become primary risks.

Key cloud security practices include encryption at rest and in transit, identity and access management (IAM), network segmentation, logging and monitoring, and regular vulnerability scanning.

For teams using cloud-hosted SaaS tools, managing the credentials for dozens of cloud services is itself a security challenge. A team password manager ensures cloud service credentials are strong, unique, and accessible only to authorized team members.
