Level up your cloud security – on-demand webinar
With many companies now migrating their data assets and workloads to cloud environments, tailoring ransomware tactics to target the cloud is becoming a more viable strategy for ransomware gangs.
Continued breaches of cloud environments often make media headlines, and their root causes regularly come down to security lapses and misconfigurations. An independent cloud security review is a great way to identify gaps in cloud security practices, think about security during the development life cycle, improve your cloud security posture, and defend against cloud ransomware.
In January, our Head of Cyber Security Practice, Matt Gerry, hosted a live webinar on how to level up your cloud security. The webinar covered:
- The cloud security landscape
- Security challenges in the cloud
- Startegies for securing your cloud environment
The webinar gave attendees the chance to get direct advice from our experts on the steps to take in order to ensure their cloud environment is as secure as it can be.

Q & A
What is cloud migration?
Cloud migration involves transferring applications, data, and digital operations from on-premises infrastructure to a virtualised environment hosted on distributed physical infrastructure managed by a Cloud Service Provider (CSP). It’s crucial to recognise that your data still resides somewhere in the physical world, which needs to be secured just like any local architecture.
While the responsibility for security shifts to the CSP, it fundamentally changes how security is approached in a cloud environment.
Grasping the Shared Responsibility Model is essential for effectively managing your cloud security risks. Additionally, it’s important to avoid relying solely on the cloud platform’s default security settings. Engaging a third-party expert in cloud security assessments can help ensure that your configurations are tailored to meet your organization’s specific needs.
What is the “shared responsibility model”?
The Shared Responsibility Model is a well-established concept in security and outsourcing, but it is frequently misunderstood, particularly as cloud services evolve rapidly. Additionally, its application varies among Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). While AWS and Microsoft provide clear guidelines to delineate their responsibilities from yours, these distinctions can still be unclear. Whether you are using IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), or SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions, it’s essential to collaborate with your CSP to fully understand your responsibilities in the cloud environment.
What is cloud ransomware?
Cloud ransomware operates similarly to traditional ransomware, with attackers aiming to gain access to cloud-based resources or data and hold organisations hostage by encrypting these assets. They typically exploit vulnerabilities arising from misconfigurations in the cloud environment or from companies not implementing cloud security best practices, such as using overly permissive settings.
