The Key to Cloud Security : Consistency
Cloud security threats and risks come in many forms . They range from malware to configuration errors to weak access controls and beyond .
And although these threats are fundamentally different , their ability to materialize inside your environment boils down to one key issue – the lack of consistency . With regards to how your cloud environments are configured and how your workloads are deployed , the less consistency you have , the easier it is for security risks to creep into your cloud and remain under your radar .
Achieving Consistency in Multicloud Environments
Achieving consistency within cloud environments is relatively easy when you ’ re dealing with a single cloud . You have only one set of cloud services , one IAM framework , and one networking configuration to manage .
But when you shift to a multicloud architecture , the challenge of maintaining consistent configurations grows exponentially . The issue is not just that you have a broader attack surface due to running more cloud services , but also that there are significant differences in the way the tools work – even if the differences are not obvious at first glance . �
