In 2023, German law enforcement recorded 134,000 cybercrime incidents – a dramatic increase. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) assesses the digital threat landscape as higher than ever before.
Cyberattacks usually hit companies suddenly and unprepared, cause high financial losses, and endanger sensitive data. The answer? A proactive security strategy that minimizes risks and secures sustainable cloud usage.
Prevention – a strong foundation for everyone involved
Comprehensive protection starts with a solid foundation: trained employees. Most security incidents can be traced back to simple mistakes such as weak passwords or the accidental opening of malicious emails. Training in data protection and cyber security turns employees into a strong first line of defense.
At the same time, using proactive security systems is crucial to identify and fend off threats early. Cloud security doesn’t begin at the moment of attack, but with secure system configuration and preventive maintenance that keeps technology and security features up to date. Both cloud providers and users share responsibility for data security – it can only be achieved through joint commitment.
Cloud Security – a protective shield for data security and business continuity
Cloud security has a central mission: only authorized users gain access to company data. Security strategies such as microsegmentation and modern firewalls are used for this purpose. Microsegmentation controls and restricts network access between workloads in a company’s data centers or cloud environments, reducing the attack surface. At the same time, next-generation firewalls block threats with application-specific filters.
Data encryption is another cornerstone of cloud security – it ensures that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized individuals. Threat analyses that continuously monitor data traffic detect malware and other risks early, creating a robust security mesh. In an emergency, backups and recovery plans ensure seamless continuation of business operations.
Another key aspect is compliance with regulations and policies. This is where ISO/IEC 27001 certification comes into play: it’s clear proof that all processes are geared toward protecting sensitive data, enforcing access control, and continuously improving security measures.
Flexible cloud solutions for individual security needs
In addition to ISO/IEC 27001, which we meet at ADESTIS, cloud security is firmly integrated into our solutions and covers comprehensive security requirements. Our measures include security controls at every layer: cloud security, workload security, and network security protect your entire infrastructure.
Automated lifecycle management reduces and eliminates manual tasks, minimizing risks from human error and preventing misconfigurations. End-to-end data encryption at rest and in transit shields sensitive information from unauthorized access. And a multilayer security concept extends protection through perimeter, distributed, and web application firewalls.
Whether Public, Private, Hybrid, or Multi-Cloud – with our ADESTIS solutions, your data security is in the best hands: demonstrated not only by our ISO/IEC 27001 certification, but also by our certifications under IDW PS 951 Type 2 and ISAE 3402 Type 2.
