NYC area cyber security expert
warns organizations of the need to understand their role and
Microsoft's role in the shared responsibility model—in a new
article from eMazzanti Technologies
HOBOKEN,
N.J., April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new
article by cyber security expert eMazzanti Technologies
reminds organizations to carefully address security risks in the
cloud.
Migrating to the cloud opens the door to
new cyber security risks. Understanding Microsoft's role in the
shared responsibility model is a critical first step toward safely
navigating the cloud.
The informative article warns of unique cloud-focused cyber
threats. It then outlines the shared responsibility model for data
security, which involves a partnership between cloud providers and
their customers.
The author explains Microsoft's role in securing its
infrastructure and applications. She then outlines steps
organizations must take to ensure the security of critical data
assets.
"Migrating to the cloud opens the door to new cyber security
risks. Understanding Microsoft's role in the shared responsibility
model is a critical first step toward safely navigating the cloud,"
explained Jennifer Mazzanti, CEO,
eMazzanti Technologies.
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "What is Microsoft's
Role in the Shared Responsibility Model for Data Security."
Cyber Danger in the Clouds
"The cloud can be a dangerous place to work, as any system that
touches the internet becomes vulnerable to attack. Consider the
treasure trove of data moving to and from the cloud in the form of
emails or stored documents. Think of all the cloud-based
applications that keep businesses humming, from Microsoft Teams to
CRM and inventory systems."
Securing the Foundation
"Microsoft invests heavily in securing its global
infrastructure. This includes physical security of data centers and
robust security around the hardware and networking equipment that
supports Microsoft 365 services. Microsoft also provides some
encryption, and it employs continuous monitoring of the underlying
platform to detect and remediate threats."
Your Data, Your Responsibility
"While Microsoft security measures play an important role, these
measures alone will not protect your data. For instance, Microsoft
365 applications include sophisticated security options, but those
controls require proper configuration. And security patches offer
no value if users neglect to install the updates."
"Every mobile device, laptop, or point-of-sale device that
connects to the network creates a possible doorway for hackers. An
endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution will automatically
inventory and monitor each endpoint. By analyzing data from these
devices, the EDR can respond quickly to threats."
Forging a Powerful Partnership
The beauty of shared responsibility lies in its collaborative
nature. Microsoft secures the infrastructure, allowing you to focus
on securing your data and workloads. It also provides robust tools
designed to enhance security and compliance. Partner with data
security experts like eMazzanti to ensure proper configuration and
optimal implementation of security controls.
