Why Cloud Infrastructure Assessment with Bridewell?
By completing an assessment with Bridewell, organisations can ensure they have a well-implemented and closely-monitored cloud environment that is as secure as any other type of hosting environment.
Our experienced cloud security experts can deliver an assessment at any stage of the cloud journey; whether that’s before you start migrating over to the cloud, as your move is in progress, or even if you already have a cloud solution in place.
Key Challenges Addressed
While cloud infrastructure is increasingly common to modern organisations, it can create complexity. Cloud workloads often produce high volumes of actionable data and detailed information that can lead to compromise if implemented or configured incorrectly.
Given the scale of the major cloud providers, organisations rightly trust them to ensure appropriate cloud security, vulnerability management and data protection. However, this can lead to security teams underestimating the importance of their role during the implementation phase and result in environments that contain vulnerabilities or misconfigurations.
For certain industries, consumers, customers, and regulators may also require independent assurance (i.e. cloud infrastructure testing) that their business’s systems are operating securely. This cannot be done internally and thus requires a trusted penetration testing partner.
