Cloud Security Assessment in cybersecurity refers to the process of evaluating the security posture of a cloud-based environment or infrastructure. As organizations migrate to cloud services (public, private, or hybrid), ensuring that the cloud environment is secure is critical to prevent data breaches, service interruptions, and unauthorized access.
Given that cloud services are often managed by third-party providers, there are unique security concerns that need to be addressed. A Cloud Security Assessment focuses on identifying, analyzing, and mitigating risks associated with the use of cloud platforms and services.
