The cloud, once touted as an IT panacea, has a flip side that we see all too often in headlines when malicious actors take advantage of gaps in security. This cannot be repeated enough: Securing data and networks in a cloud environment is very different than doing so on-premises.
Infrastructure elements that were static on-premises are now abstracted to software. Firewalls must be designed to operate in an inherently fluid infrastructure. And in the cloud, you’ll need to focus more on applications, application programming interfaces, and user roles.
