Cloud Security & Infrastructure

Cloud Security focuses on the protection of cloud computing systems. It involves practices, technologies, and security controls to protect data, applications, and resources hosted in cloud environments from cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and unauthorised access.

Cloud security is an essential aspect of any organisation's cybersecurity strategy, regardless of its size. While there's a common misconception that only large enterprises are targeted by cyberattacks, small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly becoming the focus of hackers. Neglecting investment in cloud security can lead to significant consequences, including the risk of data breaches and potential non-compliance with regulations governing the protection of sensitive customer information. The speed and aggression of cyberattacks continue to accelerate as hackers reduce the time between initial entry, lateral movement and breach.

Therefore, it's imperative for businesses of all sizes to prioritise robust cloud security measures to protect their digital assets and ensure compliance with legal requirements.

Cloud computing offers numerous benefits, including scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, but it also introduces unique security challenges that organisations must address to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their data and applications.

Here's some examples of what’s involved when the team here at Revio provide a cloud security and infrastructure service to our clients.

Cloud Service Models:
We take cloud security considerations into account as they vary depending on the type of cloud service model being used, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Each service model presents different security responsibilities shared between the cloud service provider (CSP) and the client, with the client responsible for securing their data and applications within the cloud environment.
Identity and Access Management (IAM):
We help manage user identities, roles, and permissions to control access to cloud resources. Revio’s cloud IAM solutions provide centralised identity management, authentication mechanisms, and access controls to ensure that only authorised users and applications can access data and resources hosted in the cloud.
Data Encryption and Privacy:
We protect data stored in the cloud from unauthorised access and interception. Cloud security solutions offer encryption capabilities for data at rest and in transit, as well as key management services to manage encryption keys securely. Additionally, organisations must comply with data privacy regulations and implement measures to protect sensitive data from unauthorised disclosure or misuse.
Network Security:
We implement controls to protect data traffic between cloud resources and users, as well as between different cloud services and regions. The Revio team will deploy firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and virtual private networks (VPNs) to monitor and secure network traffic to prevent unauthorised access and detect and mitigate network-based attacks.
Vulnerability Management:
We identify and assess security vulnerabilities in cloud-based systems, applications, and infrastructure. Revio’s cloud security solutions provide vulnerability scanning and management tools to identify weaknesses, prioritise remediation efforts, and reduce the risk of exploitation by cyber threats.
Security Compliance and Governance:
Our cloud security compliance service ensures that cloud deployments adhere to industry regulations, data protection laws, and an organisations internal security policies. Our Cloud security solutions provide compliance management features, audit logs, and security assessment tools.
Incident Response and Forensics:
We detect, respond to, and recover from security incidents such as data breaches, malware infections, and insider threats. Cloud security solutions provide incident response capabilities, logging and monitoring features, and forensic analysis tools to investigate security incidents, identify the root cause, and implement remediation measures to prevent recurrence.
