In today’s world, organizations are rapidly embracing cloud security to safeguard their data and operations. However, as cloud adoption grows, so do the risks. In this post, we highlight the top cloud security challenges and show how Seqrite can help you tackle them with ease.
1. Misconfigurations
One of the simplest yet most dangerous mistakes is misconfiguring cloud workloads think storage buckets left public, weak IAM settings, or missing encryption. Cybercriminals actively scan for these mistakes. A small misconfiguration can lead to significant data leakage or worst-case, ransomware deployment. Seqrite Endpoint Protection Cloud ensure your cloud environment adheres to best-practice security settings before threats even strike.
2. Shared Responsibility Confusion
The cloud model operates on shared responsibility: providers secure infrastructure, you manage your data and configurations. Too many teams skip this second part. Inadequate control over access, authentication, and setup drives serious risks. With Seqrite’s unified dashboard for access control, IAM, and policy enforcement, you stay firmly in control without getting overwhelmed.
3. Expanded Attack Surface
More cloud services, more code, more APIs, more opportunities for attacks. Whether it’s serverless functions or public API endpoints, the number of access points grows quickly. Seqrite tackles this with integrated API scanning, vulnerability assessment, and real-time threat detection. Every service, even ephemeral ones is continuously monitored.
4. Unauthorized Access & Account Hijacking
Attackers often gain entry via stolen credentials, especially in shared or multi-cloud environments. Once inside, they move laterally and hijack more resources. Seqrite’s multi-factor authentication, adaptive risk scoring, and real-time anomaly detection lock out illicit access and alert you instantly.
5. Insufficient Data Encryption
Unencrypted data whether at rest or in transit is a gold mine for attackers. Industries with sensitive or regulated information, like healthcare or finance, simply can’t afford this. Seqrite ensures enterprise-grade encryption everywhere you store or transmit data and handles key management so that it’s secure and hassle-free.
6. Poor Visibility and Monitoring
Without centralized visibility, security teams rely on manual cloud consoles and piecemeal logs. That slows response and leaves gaps. Seqrite solves this with a unified monitoring layer that aggregates logs and events across all your cloud environments. You get complete oversight and lightning-fast detection.
7. Regulatory Compliance Pressures
Compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, DPDPA and other regulations is mandatory—but complex in multi-cloud environments. Seqrite Data Privacy simplifies compliance with continuous audits, policy enforcement, and detailed reports, helping you reduce audit stress and regulatory risk.
8. Staffing & Skills Gap
Hiring cloud-native, security-savvy experts is tough. Many teams lack the expertise to monitor and secure dynamic cloud environments. Seqrite’s intuitive interface, automation, and policy templates remove much of the manual work, allowing lean IT teams to punch above their weight.
9. Multi-cloud Management Challenges
Working across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and maybe even private clouds? Each has its own models and configurations. This fragmentation creates blind spots and policy drift. Seqrite consolidates everything into one seamless dashboard, ensuring consistent cloud security policies across all environments.
10. Compliance in Hybrid & Multi-cloud Setups
Hybrid cloud setups introduce additional risks, cross-environment data flows, networking complexities, and inconsistent controls. Seqrite supports consistent security policy application across on-premises, private clouds, and public clouds, no matter where a workload lives.
Bring in Seqrite to secure your cloud journey, safe, compliant, and hassle-free.
