Cloud security alerts tripled this year: how to prioritize and respond effectively

Ever wished you could get a clean, crystal-clear snapshot of your entire threat surface, without installing or deploying anything? You can. All it takes is your website URL. With one URL, you instantly unlock a full view of: ➡️ What’s exposed to the internet (devices, services, cloud assets) ➡️ End-of-life systems still running under the radar ➡️ Misconfigurations creating invisible risk ➡️ Third-party connections that quietly expand your surface Plus, a prioritized risk score and recommended actions you can start TODAY. If you’ve ever wondered “What does my environment actually look like to a threat actor?”, this is how you find out.

Would you hand out your house keys to a stranger ? 🗝️ So why do we sometimes give unrestricted access in Azure? The cloud is powerful, but with great power comes great responsibility and unsecure access can quickly turn into a security nightmare. We often treat security like a light switch , it’s either ON or OFF. But in reality, security can and should be granular, context-aware, and smart. Here are three simple straight forward ways to achieve smart security : ✔️ Conditional Access ensures the right people, devices, and locations can access resources. ✔️ Privileged Identity Management gives admin privileges just-in-time, reducing standing privileges. ✔️ Microsoft Defende continuously monitors your environment and flags risks before they become incidents. Think of it as giving keys only to the right people, at the right time, and having a vigilant security guard watching over Share your views 👇 #Azure #CloudSecurity #MicrosoftAzure #MicrosoftDefender #ZeroTrust #CyberSecurity #harishravindra

Cloud storage lets you access files from anywhere and keeps everything synced automatically, while local backups give you full control (but come with risks like physical damage or loss). The best solution? A smart mix of both. 🔐 Protect your data before you lose it; prevention is always better than recovery. #CloudStorage, #LocalBackup, #DataProtection, #TechTips, #CyberSecurity, #FileBackup, #DataRecovery, #DigitalSafety, #VillagesComputerRepairs, #AtlantaTech, #TechSolutions, #ComputerRepair, #ITSupport, #BackupStrategy, #TechAwareness

It’s been a tough week for the cloud! Both AWS and Microsoft experienced major outages, affecting businesses across industries. No, these weren’t caused by attackers, but the impact was nearly identical. - Operations paused. - Services went dark. - Customers left in the dark. As someone who advises on cloud and cybersecurity resilience, I emphasize BCDR planning, reliable backups, and even multi-cloud strategies - not as buzzwords, but as lifelines. Security isn’t just about stopping attacks. It’s about staying operational when things go wrong, no matter the reason. If you’re not planning for disruption, you’re planning for loss. #CloudResilience #AWSOutage #MicrosoftOutage #Cybersecurity #BCDR #MultiCloud #CloudStrategy #ArkShield

Ransomware is one of the most disruptive threats facing SMBs today. In 2024, Microsoft reported the average cost of a cyberattack for SMBs was $254,445. Our latest article explains why SASE is a smarter alternative to traditional SSL VPNs. What you'll learn: • How SASE uses Zero Trust to reduce breach risks • Why SASE improves cloud app performance • How SASE simplifies IT management • Cost-saving benefits of cloud-delivered security • Why SASE is future-ready for evolving threats Explore the full article: https://lnkd.in/g9G597jJ #OXEN #SASE #CyberSecurity #OXENTech #ZeroTrust #OXENTechnology #SMBsecurity

Zero Trust isn’t just for those large organisations. Start-ups need it too.   Smaller businesses don’t have the luxury of big budgets or dedicated security teams. But that doesn’t mean they can’t build strong foundations.   Zero Trust isn’t about complexity. It’s about never taking access for granted. Even simple steps make a difference: 🎯 Multi-factor authentication 🎯 Restricting admin privileges 🎯 Choosing cloud services with strong built-in security   These lightweight controls give start-ups the confidence to scale securely, and they send a clear signal to clients that security is taken seriously.   What’s the smallest security step that made the biggest difference for you?   #ZeroTrust #SME #Cybersecurity

Cloud breaches are rising. Remediation is lagging. Despite years of cloud security investment, attackers are moving faster than most teams can respond. The 2025 Cloud Security Report exposes the widening gap between cloud complexity and protection. Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/ectPs79V Key cloud security findings: ➤ 65% faced cloud incidents last year — up 4% ➤ 6% remediated breaches within one hour ➤ 62% took longer than 24 hours to respond ➤ Delays tied to manual handoffs, tool silos ➤ Automation needed across cloud + on-prem Cloud-native threats demand cloud-speed defenses. That means AI-powered enforcement, real-time detection, and automated containment — not tickets and triage. Attackers aren’t waiting. Why should your response?

Think your business is too small to be hacked? Think again. Cybersecurity myths can quietly put your entire organisation at risk. From assuming the cloud automatically protects your data to believing weekly backups are enough, these misconceptions can cost you time, money, and trust. It’s time to rethink data protection. ✅ Automate your cloud backups ✅ Monitor them continuously ✅ Test recovery regularly Don’t wait for a breach to realize prevention is cheaper than recovery.
