Frequently Asked Questions What is cloud security? + Cloud security is the practice of protecting cloud environments, applications, and data from cyber threats. It includes identity management, encryption, threat detection, and compliance enforcement. For organisations in Singapore, ensuring compliance with local regulations such as the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and guidelines from the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) are essential. Partnering with a trusted cloud security consulting firm like Protiviti helps businesses implement best practices, including zero trust architecture, to secure their cloud environment and maintain regulatory compliance. What are common security threats to cloud environments? + The most common cloud security threats in Singapore include data breaches, misconfigurations, and unauthorised access. Data breaches often result from weak security controls, while misconfigured cloud settings can expose sensitive business data. Unauthorised access, typically caused by poor identity and access management (IAM), can lead to data theft and operational disruption. Protiviti, a trusted cloud security consulting firm, helps Singapore organisations mitigate these risks with tailored cloud security solutions and advanced zero trust architecture methodology to protect sensitive data and ensure business continuity. Who is responsible for cloud security? + Cloud security is a shared responsibility between cloud service providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, and the business itself. While providers secure the infrastructure, businesses are responsible for managing identity access, data protection, and regulatory compliance. Working with a trusted cloud security consulting firm like Protiviti helps Singapore organisations develop a comprehensive cloud security strategy by implementing zero trust architecture and aligning security practices with local regulations such as the PDPA and CSA guidelines. This ensures secure access controls, data protection, and operational resilience.
