STEP 1: Discover all cloud applications in use
Without visibility into all your organization’s cloud usage you may be risking security, allowing leaks of sensitive data, and reducing efficiency.
STEP 2: Assess the risk of your applications
Find applications that can be conduits for malware attacks, data theft, and security breaches.
STEP 3: Enable the right applications
Standardize whenever possible, discourage the use of free services, block risky applications and monitor alerts for new risky applications.
STEP 4: Understand how your users work
Work with your users to understand what applications are critical and what functionality is important to them.
STEP 5: Enforce data loss prevention policies
By extending your DLP controls to cloud applications, you can have assurance that cloudapplications are being used wisely and not becoming avenues for data loss or harmful breaches.
STEP 6: Monitor user activity and detect anomalies
Consistent user activity monitoring provides a baseline of known behavior. Noticeable changes in typical behavior can be important indicators of suspicious activity or serious breaches.
STEP 7: Understand compliance requirements
In order to effectively protect sensitive data your organization needs to understand the specific compliance requirements for any data it is handling and potentially putting in the cloud.
STEP 8: Encrypt or tokenize sensitive data fields
Encrypt or tokenize your sensitive data in the cloud and keep the keys to assure security and compliance, data residency and sovereignty.
STEP 9: Preserve business functionality
Apply effective security tools that do not break key business functionality, else this would defeat the purpose of using the cloud.
Does encryption/tokenization of your cloud data :
• Preserve format & length?
• Supports search, sort of data?
• Enable advanced reports & list filters?
• Impact user experience?
Summary
Regardless of your stage of cloud adoption, fundamental requirements remain the same:
• Understand what your users are doing and how their business needs have changed
• Gain visibility to where your sensitive data is going and who should and should not
have access
• Take proactive steps to protect business-critical information and retain control regardless of where it goes
