Too many tools, too little impact? We find the risks, identify the right solutions, and provide the remediation you need to boost cloud security.
Cloud computing has become a core element of modern business infrastructure, offering cost efficiency, scalability, and easier administration. However, many organizations overlook the inherent security risks that come with default cloud configurations, making them attractive targets for cyber threats.
Every cloud service operates under a shared responsibility model, dividing security duties between the provider and the user. These responsibilities differ across service types—Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS)—and it's up to users to secure their assets and configure the platform properly.
Even in well-established organizations, we frequently identify risks, such as: publicly exposed data or resources; excessive permissions, including unnecessary admin rights; weak default configurations, leading to unauthorized access or manipulation, or insufficient monitoring of risky activities.
These missteps can result in data breaches, policy violations, and compromised environments—all of which are preventable with the right safeguards in place.
Our Cloud Security Assessment offers a comprehensive review of your cloud architecture, configurations, and defenses. Designed to complement Echelon STaaS advisory services, our experts evaluate your implementation of security frameworks and provide actionable recommendations aligned with your business goals and risk tolerance.
Either through your STaaS team or as a stand-alone engagement, we deliver a clear, prioritized roadmap to enhance your cloud security maturity. Strengthen your cloud programs with tailored solutions backed by proven expertise.
