This article will outline some of the ways CISOs in the healthcare sector can automate cloud security controls and integrate those controls into standard deployment cycles.

There are many cloud security frameworks and best practices.

In the case of treating infrastructure as code, native and third-party cloud management platforms enable users to templatize security configuration for infrastructure and store those templates for easy use every time a new environment needs to be stood up.

If you're layering Kubernetes, Docker, or some other containerization technology on your cloud platform infrastructure, you should employ labeling to tag those ephemeral assets with metadata consistent with your cloud tagging schema.

Consistency in the cloud environment means more granularity for a security baseline.

Automating cloud security controls can be straightforward, if they're planned, strategic, and consistent.
