Three Cloud Security Pillars That Lower the Risk of a Data Breach

Securing a hybrid cloud infrastructure is a never-ending process. New cloud products and feature releases, a growing security landscape, and changing business cloud usage are among the reasons.


According to the Cost of Data Breach 2021 report by IBM, the average total cost of a data breach increased from USD 3.86 million to USD 4.24 million, the highest total cost in the 17-year history of the report. This shows that adopting this strategy can result in cost savings for the company.


Enterprises can establish a system that improves hybrid cloud security collaboratively among business executives, IT leaders, and auditors by building a cloud security program on the following three pillars. It will also allow firms to reduce risk, increase agility and operate more efficiently.


Prescriptive controls help businesses manage risk and compliance


A well-designed and deployed hybrid cloud that is driven by risk and compliance regulations can save money as well as protect against data breaches.


According to the Cost of Data Breach Report, businesses that migrated to the cloud paid roughly $1.66 million more for a data breach than businesses that have never migrated to the cloud.


These numbers show that pursuing widespread cloud adoption without taking into account secure and compliant landing zones, cloud operational models, and other factors is riskier than having a well-defined cloud strategy.


When processing data, businesses need to adhere to a variety of regulations and requirements. Some standards and rules are universal, while others are exclusive to a country or industry.


Workload security in the hybrid cloud is determined by the technical controls that determine whether workloads should be hosted on-premises or in public and private clouds. Those controls should be applied uniformly across all workloads.
