To ensure robust cybersecurity during this transition, organizations are taking different cloud security approaches. With information system security becoming a hot topic right now, cyber-attacks and novel attack vectors are constantly reported in both professional and public sources. As much as security becomes a concern, the deployment of these approaches comes with its own challenges. Conventional Identity Access Management (IAM) solutions were designed to control access to a limited set of systems and applications in traditional data centers. Therefore, it becomes important to have a thorough system in place to deliver a security solution that can be applied across multiple cloud technologies. How Safe is your cloud?Although cloud computing comes power-packed with features such as multi-tenancy and third-party managed infrastructure, it is behind in terms of having a structured security access mechanism in place. The existing IAM solutions extend their control across cloud resources, services and administration that includes server-less infrastructure, business applications, databases, cloud management consoles, security admin consoles, and networking services. However, a need for a cutting-edge advanced strategy stems from the challenges a cloud system must encounter with IAM solutions. With the dynamic nature of the cloud, applications and services are instantiated on-demand, which makes the containers do the heavy lifting that makes tracking and assigning entitlements CCIEM: THE NEW AGE SECURITY SOLUTION FOR CLOUD COMPUTINGBy Arun Kumar, Senior Architect, CES, Brillio IN MY OPINIONArun Kumar, Senior Architect
