Cloud security, alternatively referred to as cloud computing security, comprises a set of security measures engineered to safeguard cloud-based infrastructure, applications, and data. These measures encompass the authentication of users and devices, control over data and resource access, and the preservation of data privacy.
Firewall as-a-service (FWaaS) involves a security product known as a cloud firewall, which, similar to a conventional firewall, screens and blocks potentially harmful network traffic. However, in contrast to traditional firewalls, cloud firewalls are hosted in the cloud. This cloud-based delivery model for firewalls is often termed as Firewall as-a-service (FWaaS).
Cloud Web Application Firewall (WAF) delivers high-quality, consistently adaptive security protection for web applications. It ensures comprehensive coverage against the OWASP Top-10 threats and dynamically adjusts security measures to effectively counter emerging threats and safeguard protected assets.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) represents a category of IT security solutions tailored to identify misconfigurations and compliance vulnerabilities in cloud environments. A key objective is to maintain ongoing surveillance of cloud infrastructure to detect lapses in security policy enforcement.
A Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), often pronounced as "cas-bee," is software, either on-premises or cloud-based, positioned between users of cloud services and cloud applications. It oversees all activities and enforces security policies to ensure safe and compliant usage of cloud resources.
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a cybersecurity solution that offers secure remote access to an organization's applications, data, and services through the implementation of well-defined access control policies.
The SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) architecture is a network framework that integrates VPN and SD-WAN capabilities with cloud-native security features, including secure web gateways, cloud access security brokers, firewalls, and zero-trust network access.
