Why Businesses Are Moving Towards Intelligent Cloud Systems

Migrating to the cloud can make your systems easier to access across teams and locations. But that wider access also adds more entry points to your environment. SIEM cybersecurity needs to connect those signals and flag behaviour that may point to an attack before suspicious activity spreads.

Cloud migration works better when security monitoring grows with it

The cloud can reduce infrastructure costs and make daily work easier:

• Lower infrastructure costs: Cloud computing reduces the need to buy and maintain physical servers. You can pay for capacity as you need it without having to tie up cash in hardware.
• Easier scaling: Add capacity whenever demand rises, and then reduce that capacity whenever traffic/workload drops. You can also add users and systems in new locations without building local infrastructure first.
• Better access for distributed teams: Do you have remote employees? Cloud allows them to access files and applications from different locations.
• Stronger security controls and disaster recovery: Cloud platforms include encryption and access management tools that help protect your business data across users and devices. Cloud backups also help your business restore data after an outage or cyber incident.
• Easier access to analytics: It’s easier to store and process business data as well as track performance without building expensive infrastructure from scratch.
• Less manual IT admin: Cloud systems can handle software updates and routine maintenance tasks, so your IT team will have fewer repetitive tasks to manage.

But once more work happens in the cloud, your security team needs a better way to see suspicious behaviour across accounts and applications. SIEM cybersecurity collects logs from different systems and helps detect suspicious activity, such as:

• Login attempts to cloud platforms
• Unusual access to cloud storage
• Changes to user permissions
• Suspicious API activity
• Misconfigured cloud resources

Without SIEM cybersecurity, your cloud environment may become a breeding ground for risks hiding in plain sight. Separate logs may show harmless-looking events, only for the full sequence to reveal a possible account takeover.

You need a partner that understands both cloud migration and SIEM cybersecurity

Moving to the cloud is not a simple matter of transferring files and systems. You need a cybersecurity team that will take the time to understand how your people work and which data must stay protected.
