Cloud security is a hot topic for a variety of reasons. Protect yourself now with an enhanced strategy.

Stay on Top of Cloud Security Issues

Cyber security continues to be a top concern among IT professionals and leaders at organizations large and small. With the increased usage of cloud technology, cloud security issues have become more prevalent. Whether it’s a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environment, there are ways to stay on top of the latest issues and protect yourself.

Why Cloud Security Matters

While organizations were migrating to cloud solutions for a variety of reasons before the COVID-19 public health crisis, the adoption of these services increased significantly during and in the wake of the pandemic. AlgoSec, a leading network security solution provider, spearheaded a survey titled “State of Cloud Security Concerns, Challenges and Incidents” to find out more about what was going on and to get a better grip on the situation.

What the survey found is revealing:

  • The top cloud adoption concern is network security
  • The security controls used by most of the top cloud providers are not adequate
  • Complex cloud environments are increasingly the norm
  • The search for improved security tools is something most organizations prioritize

These findings probably sound familiar, but if you are still perplexed as to how to protect yourself, you’re not alone. Many organizations are struggling to adopt what’s right for their specific business needs.

Gaining a Strong Foothold

The infrastructure in many security tools is a mix of vendor-controlled tools and the tools the customer maintains in-house. In basic terms, the cloud providers are responsible for the security controls in the cloud, while the customer has full responsibility for the security of what they have in the cloud. This is where many organizations become confused, with many IT teams under the impression that the provider is 100% responsible for security.

The multicloud environment can bring with it a variety of security challenges, and organizations that are not staffed with the right security expertise can be at risk. Even companies with cyber security strategies that know that they are responsible for putting policies in place to protect their data may not have the skills in-house to manage security concerns. They know which data needs to be classified and how to manage identity and access controls, but that doesn’t mean they have the time and resources to do it.

Unfortunately, there are too many organizations out there that are ill-equipped and completely vulnerable. Partnering with a third party to gain a better position is the answer for leaders at many companies, as they know they can’t forge on alone.

Safari’s work at All-Star game was terrific. Our client had a last-minute ask that my team was not aware of until the day a representative arrived on site. Their techs didn’t have a solid plan on what their needs were but Safari’s complete knowledge of networks and sharp inquiries into what our client was trying to do literally saved the day in getting their project off the ground. They could NOT have pulled off what they needed without Safari’s involvement.

I travel to sporting events, especially golf tournaments, often. Critical to my daily operation is stable and quick connectivity as I'm constantly transmitting large volumes of images. I know that when I'm working with the Safari Team I've got nothing to worry about. Their systems always work and the set-up and connection are simple. I would highly recommend Safari Events to any vendor in need of voice and data services

I just wanted to put on record my thanks for your help. The connectivity you always provide is the best we get at any tournament worldwide and is always stable. When we had a minor problem this year, you kindly changed things for us several times until, with your help, I was able to identify that it was actually a problem at our base back home! Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to do that. Many thanks, See you next time!
