Your Cloud Workloads Need Security At All Layers
Don’t be a victim.
I don’t need to explain in depth why you shouldn’t ignore security best practices and be proactive instead of reactive. It’s not hard to find multiple incidents with companies due to security breaches (see here, here, and here) and there are thousands, if not millions, of other incidents you never hear about.
Rather I would like to encourage you to evaluate how you think about security principles, so that you can better refine your systems and automated processes, and avoid as many incidents as humanely possible.
To better secure your cloud workloads, you would do well to keep one concept in mind:
Secure your cloud resources and workloads at multiple, if not all, layers.
Think about it like this, if you have a house with no doors or locks it would be very easy to break into. By adding doors then locks you could make your house more secure. You could also install cameras to alert you of suspicious activity, or even put up a fence around your house perimeter with a gate controlling access to your property. All of a sudden you have a much more secured house!
That analogy should help you conceptually understand why what I am talking about is important, you can…
