What advice would you offer to organisations at the start of their journey towards bolstering their cloud security strategy ?
Discover , Assess , Prioritise , Remediate and Measure .
Choosing a cloud security solution doesn ’ t have to be so frustrating . You can quickly get on the right path for choosing the best cloud security solution for your organisation .
Here are a few tips :
• Set a goal : What do you want your solution to do ? How does that goal align with your business goals and objectives ?
• Know your ‘ must-haves ’: What does the solution have to do to ensure you meet all your goals ?
• Dig into product capabilities : How does the solution improve security and reduce risk ?
• Understand your compliance and other regulatory requirements : Can the solution give you visibility into how you ’ re meeting requirements , where you have gaps , identify weaknesses and help you prioritise plans for remediation ?
• Inquire about scalability and research : Can the solution scale with your organisation and how does it ensure it continuously delivers accurate , timely risk data as your needs change over time ?
Are there any cloud security trends you expect to see in this region over the coming months / year ? How should organisations prepare ?
Cloud services usage is increasing rapidly . Businesses of all sizes across all industries around the region are swiftly adopting Artificial Intelligence ( AI ), cloud infrastructure , services and applications , quickly realising the benefits of scalability , flexibility and cost reductions .
The more technologies and different assets are used , the greater the exposure and attack surface .

Developing a cloud security programme isn ’ t just a one-time rollout . In addition to having a simple to use yet powerful CNAPP solution , maintaining a strong programme is a constant effort that requires support from all teams within the organisation . It ’ s recommended to have clear cloud security processes defined while adopting a strong cloud security solution . Both should be defined as part of the organisation ’ s cybersecurity programme .
• When implementing a cloud security programme , there are five steps you can take to adopt a riskbased vulnerability management approach , which aligns directly with the cybersecurity lifecycle .
Organisations must ensure proper configuration , manage vulnerabilities in AI workloads and the entire attached surface . They should assess their existing tools and start looking at modernising and consolidating multiple cybersecurity practices to unify vision , unify insight and unify action .
Tenable One , a unique AI-powered exposure management platform , radically unifies security visibility , insight and action across the attack surface , equipping modern organisations to isolate and eradicate priority cyber-exposures from IT infrastructure to cloud environments to critical infrastructure and everywhere in between . p
