Essential security principles for multicloud success
- Now that we understand the key security challenges in multi-cloud environments, let's explore the security principles that will help you build a strong defense. Implementing these principles will help ensure a secure and resilient multi-cloud strategy. First, let's talk about zero trust. This principle assumes that no user, device, or system should be inherently trusted, whether inside or outside the network. Every access request must be verified based on identity, device posture, location, and behavior. In multi-cloud environments, implementing zero trust requires continuous authentication, micro-segmentation, and dynamic access controls to minimize the exposure and prevent lateral movement of threats. Next, let's discuss lease privilege. This principle is about making sure that users, applications, and processes have only the minimum access required to perform their tasks. Over-provisioning can lead to privilege escalation attacks and insider threats. To enforce lease privilege in…
