The Ultimate Guide to Secure Cloud Access
*Updated 31st August 2022
The use of the cloud to share and store digital assets, mobilise our workforces and promote collaborative working widens the risk of a data breach. Cybercriminals want your data and once they gain access to networks and systems they have the power to do significant damage – it’s vital for companies to be aware of the risks. In addition to cybercrime is the risk of human error, data can be lost or deleted, passwords can be insufficient and data insufficiently backed up.
In this guide we look at the key aspects of cloud security;
- Gaining visibility across your organisation’s shadow IT and data
- Mitigating the risk of loss of business critical data
- Safeguarding employees from potential malicious applications and websites
- Authenticating legitimate users to allow access to your applications and environment
- Backing up your business critical data in the cloud
- Security Access Service Edge (SASE)
- Securing your Office 365 environment

In the past decade, cyber attackers have significantly shifted their techniques and tactics, resulting in traditional security controls becoming all but obsolete. With cybersecurity incidents also increasing in frequency and sophistication, businesses are at greater risk than ever before. Although purchasing more defence measures can help to remedy the situation to an extent, it will not eliminate all cybersecurity threats. Organisations also need to manage their security well by having a solid foundational security strategy. In this summary, InfoTrust provides three key steps to a well-rounded cybersecurity plan and covers how to achieve them with limited resources.

With our growing awareness of the threat of cyber incidents, it would be easy to assume that we must have built up the necessary defences to protect our businesses. However, our increasing reliance on technology, while bringing enormous business advantages, increases our vulnerability, expanding the attack surface. Attackers are constantly adapting their methods and have learnt to use the likes of data mining and artificial intelligence to find new entryways into our systems. So, while the technology that we use today creates huge business advantages, it also creates new security risks.
Agari Cyber Intelligence Division reports first-ever Russian Business Email Compromise (BEC) gang, referred to Cosmic Lynx, in their latest threat report.
Cosmic Lynx has targeted individuals in 46 countries, across more than 200 BEC campaigns. The gang has employed a dual impersonation scheme, exploiting DMARC controls to spoof the target businesses, making the attacks appear as authentic as possible.
