Cloud security is the practice of protecting data, applications, and services that run in cloud environments. It covers access controls, threat detection, compliance, and keeping sensitive information safe from cyberattacks.
The most common risks include:
• Misconfigured cloud storage (like public data buckets)
• Weak or stolen passwords
• Insider threats or accidental data leaks
• Malware and ransomware targeting cloud workloads
Cloud Security Mesh is a modern approach to cloud protection where security is applied directly to apps, users, and workloads across multiple clouds, instead of relying on one central firewall. It provides consistent, identity-driven security no matter where data lives.
Because companies no longer use just one cloud. They often mix AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and private data centers. Traditional firewalls can’t cover this spread, so CSM ensures each cloud and workload has the right security applied consistently.
Traditional firewalls guard the network perimeter, like a castle wall. CSM distributes protection across all apps, clouds, and devices, like many small shields connected in a mesh. This makes it more flexible and effective in today’s multi-cloud world.
• Modular and scalable protection across environments
• Consistent policies across multiple clouds
• AI-powered detection of unusual or risky behaviour
• Stronger compliance posture for industries like healthcare and finance
