Most enterprise data centers are expected to move to the cloud by 2025. The use of public clouds in the form of infrastructure, platforms and software as a service will be extensive. Cloud security refers to the processes, mechanisms and services used to control the security, compliance, and other usage risks of cloud computing.
Cloud security assessment involves identification of vulnerabilities across cloud native components apart from conventional services like penetration testing on cloud hosted application and cloud infrastructure. These native components comprise of Serverless Functions (Lambda, Azure Functions, GCP Functions), Microservices/API along with Container and Kubernetes (K8s).
The assessment would help an organization to identify threats and loopholes which are existing on the cloud environment. Exploitation of these threats or loopholes would impact an organization with data loss or breach.
