Protect your clouds
Sponsored Post According to the 2024 IBM Cost of the Data Breach Report 40 percent of data breaches identified between March 2023 and February 2024 involved data stored across multiple environments, including the cloud.
What’s more, the cost of breached data stored in public clouds during that period incurred the highest average breach cost at US$5.17m (compared to US$4.88m averaged across all environments).
Those figures highlight the importance of safeguarding cloud infrastructure against potential data losses which can come from multiple sources – everything from sophisticated cyber attacks and unauthorised access to skill shortages and misconfiguration errors. The subsequent damage to organisational finances and reputations this type of incident causes pushes cyber security professionals to constantly be on top of their game, which means adopting new defensive skills and strategies whenever the opportunity is available.
SANS has developed a range of cloud specific resources to help you stay ahead. That includes a series of five webcasts which provide a step by step guide to building a cloud security strategy, evolving your defences beyond the default configurations, navigating challenges and adopting a more modern approach.
The five SANS Cloud Security: First Principles and Future Opportunities webcasts can be accessed either live or on demand at the following links:
– Part 1 of 5 (15 November) – Building a Cloud Security Strategy: A Step-by-Step Guide.
– Part 2 of 5 (22 November) – Secure by Design: Elevating Security Beyond Defaults.
– Part 4 of 5 (6 December) – Evolving Cloud Security with a Modern Approach.
If your organisation is worried about the integrity of the mission critical data and applications it stores and processes off-premise, let SANS provide some reassurance with this series of sessions offering best practice advice on cloud security.
