Cloud Application Security

Cloud application security focuses on protecting cloud-based software against various forms of cyber threats. This includes the policies, processes, coding practices, and security controls needed to reduce risk across applications in collaborative cloud environments throughout their development, deployment, and entire life cycle.

Protecting applications in cloud environments involves integrating security at multiple levels, including the application layer, the network, and the data itself. Techniques such as encryption, identity and access management (IAM), and application security testing are commonly employed. Organizations must also ensure they comply with relevant regulations and standards across all the geographies where cloud applications are deployed and used.
