Cloud Security Best Practices in 2025

Securing your cloud footprint requires a combination of strong identity, encryption, and visibility.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Use least-privilege access, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and regular access reviews. Avoid long-lived credentials where possible.

Encryption

Encrypt data at rest and in transit. Use customer-managed keys when you need full control over key lifecycle.

Network Security

Segment networks with VPCs and security groups. Use private endpoints for sensitive services and restrict public exposure.

Monitoring and Response

Centralize logs and metrics. Set up alerts for suspicious activity and automate response playbooks.

Compliance

Align with frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or industry-specific regulations. Document controls and evidence for auditors.
