Cloud Security Protecting What You Can’t See
Cloud infrastructure powers modern business but it also expands your attack surface. Misconfigurations, weak access controls, and overlooked zero-day risks can expose sensitive data. Codeila makes sure your cloud is secure, resilient, and compliant.
What is Cloud Security?
Cloud security is the set of policies, technologies, and controls designed to protect cloud-based systems, data, and infrastructure. It ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability of resources hosted across providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Common Cloud Security Mistakes
- Misconfigured storage buckets public access exposing sensitive files.
- Weak IAM policies over-privileged accounts and lack of least-privilege principles.
- Unsecured APIs endpoints lacking authentication or rate limits.
- No encryption data at rest or in transit not properly encrypted.
- Poor monitoring missing audit logs or alerting for unusual activity.
- Shadow IT unsanctioned apps or cloud accounts used without oversight.
How Hackers Exploit Cloud Gaps
- Credential theft: stolen or reused passwords to access dashboards.
- Privilege escalation: abusing weak IAM roles to gain admin access.
- Exposed storage: scanning for open S3 buckets or misconfigured databases.
- API abuse: exploiting poorly secured or undocumented cloud APIs.
- Zero-day vulnerabilities: flaws in hypervisors, container runtimes, or cloud services.
Cloud Attack Scenarios (High-Level)
- An employee uploads client data into a public bucket without realizing it’s accessible to anyone.
- A compromised developer API key grants attackers access to production systems.
- A zero-day in a cloud provider’s service leaves workloads vulnerable until patched.
How Codeila Protects Your Cloud
Our experts secure your cloud from design to operations — no shortcuts, no blind spots.
- Cloud configuration audits: find and fix misconfigurations before attackers do.
- Zero-trust IAM: enforce least privilege, MFA, and just-in-time access.
- Data protection: encrypt storage and enforce key management policies.
- API hardening: authentication, throttling, and continuous monitoring.
- Threat detection: 24/7 monitoring, anomaly detection, and incident response.
- Compliance readiness: align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.
Cloud Security Checklist
- Audit IAM roles and remove unused accounts.
- Enable multi-factor authentication for all cloud accounts.
- Encrypt data at rest and in transit.
- Enable logging and centralized monitoring.
- Regularly test and patch workloads.
