Luckily, there are tactics one can deploy to avoid cloud configuration breaches and prevent error from both technology and humans.

Rather than creating a whole new service or application, unpair your app components from your infrastructure so when the elements need an update, it can be easily replaced by a new security hardened gold image as mentioned above.

Across all your cloud tiers, regularly conduct self-audits and always make sure to test your security controls.

We commonly see test projects turn into production reality, and unfortunately developers don't go back to verify security is to production grade, resulting in security weaknesses.

Make it easy to follow secure processes; the easier it is, the more likely your teams will comply and the more secure you'll be! Cloud helps achieve this by being clear which security responsibilities belong to you and which the cloud provider is responsible for.

From immutable infrastructure to continuous compliance and security as code.
