Cloud Security

IARM provides a comprehensive security assessment of the cloud environment to identify and mitigate security risks. Our experts shall perform a comprehensive evaluation of cloud security posture to identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities. This includes a review of network architecture, security controls, and configurations, as well as a simulated attack scenario (penetration testing) to assess the security of your cloud-delivery models including Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). The services included in our offerings are:

Cloud Security Architecture Review:

IARM provides a review of the overall security design of the cloud environment to identify areas for improvement and ensure that security is built into the architecture from the ground up. A thorough security review of the cloud infrastructure, networks, applications, and data to identify security risks and vulnerabilities. The architecture review covers various aspects of cloud security, including:

• Network security: Reviewing firewall configurations, network segmentation, and access controls to ensure the protection of sensitive data and systems in AWS, Azure and Google-Cloud.
• Identity and Access Management (IAM): Evaluating IAM policies, permissions, and roles to ensure proper access controls and management of users, groups, and resources in AWS/Azure/Google-Cloud.
• Data security: Reviewing data encryption, backup and disaster recovery plans, and data access controls to protect against data breaches and unauthorized access in AWS/Azure/Google-Cloud.

Microservices Security:

In the microservices architecture, each component operates independently and communicates with other components through APIs. This architecture offers increased agility, scalability, and faster time-to-market, but also creates new security challenges. Our Microservices Security Review services are designed to provide a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the security posture of microservices environments. 

Our Microservices Security Review services include:

• API Security: We evaluate the security of the APIs that connect microservices, including authentication, authorization, and encryption. We recommend best practices to secure the APIs and prevent unauthorized access.
• Container Security: We evaluate the security of containers used to deploy microservices, including image security, runtime security, and network security. We provide recommendations to secure containers and prevent attacks.
• Network Segmentation: We evaluate the network segmentation practices used to isolate microservices from each other and from the outside world. We recommend best practices to secure network segmentation and prevent unauthorized access.

Ensure the security of your microservices architecture with a comprehensive security review. Our team of experts will analyze your systems and identify potential vulnerabilities, providing you with tailored recommendations to strengthen your security posture.

Cloud Penetration Testing: 

A simulated attack on the cloud environment to identify potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker. This testing covers all aspects of the cloud environment, including the infrastructure, applications, and data. The goal is to identify any security weaknesses and provide recommendations to mitigate the risks and improve the security posture.

Penetration testing covers various aspects of cloud security, including:

• Network security: Evaluating the configuration of firewalls, network segmentation, and access controls to ensure the protection of sensitive data and systems.
• Application security: Testing web applications, APIs, and other cloud-based services to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker.
• Data security: Assessing the encryption and access controls of data stored in the cloud to prevent data breaches and unauthorized access.
• Identity and Access Management (IAM): Evaluating the policies, permissions, and roles to ensure proper access controls and management of users, groups, and resources.

Compliance Review:

IARM’s Compliance Review offering provides a comprehensive evaluation of the cloud environment to assess compliance with major regulations such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITRUST, CIS Benchmark and others. The objective of this offering is to help organizations meet and maintain regulatory requirements, protect sensitive information, and minimize risk.

The following services are included in this offering:

• Regulation Compliance Assessment: IARM’s experts evaluate the cloud environment against the specific requirements of the regulation, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITRUST, CIS Benchmark and others. The assessment covers all aspects of cloud security, including network security, identity and access management, data security, and security operations, to identify areas for improvement and ensure regulatory compliance. Based on the results of the assessment, IARM’s experts provide recommendations to address any gaps or deficiencies in the cloud environment. These recommendations shall include best practices for cloud security, infrastructure design, and data protection.
• Continuous Compliance Monitoring: IARM provides ongoing monitoring and reporting to ensure that the cloud environment remains compliant with regulations over time. This includes regular assessments, security reviews, and compliance audits to detect and address any changes or new risks.
