Security is always a top concern in the cloud, but with the rise of cloud-native applications, traditional security models are no longer enough. In 2024, Cloud-Native Security has become a fundamental aspect of cloud deployments. Organizations are adopting Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP) and Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) to proactively safeguard workloads and manage access permissions more efficiently.
Unlike reactive security approaches of the past, cloud-native security tools like AWS GuardDuty, Azure Security Center, and Google Cloud Security Command Center are designed to detect and mitigate threats in real-time.
Auditors are now required to assess these advanced security mechanisms during audits to ensure that businesses are protected from evolving cyber threats. Proactive threat detection and compliance are now integral to security audits, marking a major shift in how cloud environments are secured.
