CLOUD STRATEGY / PRACTICAL GUIDE
A stronger cloud starts with the basics.
Cloud security is an ongoing operating responsibility. Start with these foundations, then adapt the review to your workloads and the responsibilities shared with your provider.
Know what is deployed
Maintain an inventory of accounts, subscriptions, projects, workloads, public endpoints, and accountable owners.
Review access
Use least privilege, enable multifactor authentication where supported, review privileged roles, and remove unused access.
Protect data and secrets
Classify sensitive information, restrict access, configure encryption appropriately, and keep credentials out of source code.
Make activity visible
Enable relevant audit logs and actionable alerts. Assign responsibility for reviewing events and responding to them.
Test recovery and changes
Verify that backups can be restored, review configuration changes, and document how critical services recover.
