As secure data moves to the cloud, the security threats follows there. The data, account takeover and DOS attacks are increasing at the loud environments today. Credential abuse, cloud misconfigurations and lack of central visibility leave your infrastructure vulnerable to breaches. With VAPT services we help our customers to identify the holes in the Cloud infrastructure and fix them. Cloud Infrastructures today represent collection of small, medium, and big data centre. Any leakage or cyber-attack on your cloud-based solution can be caused as if it is exposed from data centre. Today Cloud security is driven out of a set of policies, controls, procedures, and technologies that work together to protect cloud-based systems, data, and infrastructure. These security measures are configured to protect cloud data, support regulatory compliance, and protect customers' privacy as well as setting authentication rules for individual users and devices. From authenticating access to filtering traffic, cloud security can be configured to the exact needs of the business. And because these rules can be configured and managed in one place, administration overheads are reduced, and IT teams empowered to focus on other areas of the business. But numerous configurations can cause some of them get missed out and opening up an entry into your area of cloud infrastructure.

The way cloud security is delivered will depend on the individual cloud provider or the cloud security solutions in place. However, implementation of cloud security processes should be a joint responsibility between the business owner and solution provider.
Cloud security is a shared responsibility
Regardless of what cloud deployment you are using, you are responsible for securing your own space within that cloud. Using a cloud maintained by someone else does not mean you can—or should—sit back and relax. Insufficient due diligence is a major cause of security failures.
Cloud computing centralizes applications and data, cloud security centralizes protection. But it is the consumer who must set it right and consume the right way to keep external unwanted entry at the infrastructure. It is to be noted that there are BOT environments and servers scanning the entire cloud infrastructures looking for weaker machines. Most of the times the cloud machines will get exploited because, they may have weak
