This paper discusses the main cloud concepts (shared responsibility model, zero trust), the issues that a modern cloud security architecture should address, and the challenges that companies face when building security in cloud environments, namely:
● Increasing attack surface.● Decreased visibility.● Dynamic and temporary workloads.● Automated DevOps processes.● Excessive privileges.● Multiple cloud environments.
The document describes the architectural principles of cloud security required to address information security challenges in the cloud effectively. The principles include:
● Advanced protection against threats to the network perimeter● Protection against various attack vectors, such as identification, administration, and data protection● Designing the architecture in a way that keeps security part of the cloud environment● Segmentation to minimize the attack surface and reduce the radius of attack● Flexibility, automation, and elasticity of applications without compromising security● Build unified security regardless of cloud platform characteristics
