We Put Security First in Everything We Do

Cloud security should be a first-class citizen in every business. Cut corners, and you’ll get hacked. It’s a cost you don’t want to pay. At Deimos, everything we do starts with securing your business and systems.

CLOUD SECURITY RISKS

The Risks of Ignoring Cloud Security

Financial Risks

Companies that suffer cyberattacks may incur significant financial losses due to lost revenue, downtime, legal fees, and remediation costs.

Reputational Risks

Companies that suffer data breaches or other cyberattacks may suffer damage to their reputation, which can lead to lost customers, decreased sales, and difficulty attracting and retaining talent.

Operational Risks

Cyberattacks can disrupt business operations, leading to downtime, lost productivity, and increased costs.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

Companies that suffer cyberattacks may incur significant financial losses due to lost revenue, downtime, legal fees, and remediation costs.

Common Security Risks

The cloud offers businesses a number of benefits, such as scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. However, it also introduces a number of cloud security risks that businesses need to be aware of.

Here are some of the most common cloud security risks:

Data Breaches

Data breaches are the most common and costly type of cloud security incident. They can occur when unauthorised individuals gain access to sensitive data, such as customer records, financial information, or intellectual property. Data breaches can damage a company's reputation, lead to financial losses, and result in legal or regulatory action.

Misconfigurations

Misconfigurations are mistakes that can be made when setting up or managing cloud resources. They can leave systems and data vulnerable to attack. For example, misconfigured cloud storage could allow unauthorised access to sensitive data.

Insecure APIs

In an API-driven world, insecure APIs can be exploited by attackers to gain access to sensitive data or to take control of systems.

Account Hijacking

Data breaches are the most common and costly type of cloud security incident. They can occur when unauthorised individuals gain access to sensitive data, such as customer records, financial information, or intellectual property. Data breaches can damage a company's reputation, lead to financial losses, and result in legal or regulatory action.

Malware

Malware is malicious software that can be used to steal data, disrupt operations, or hold data hostage for ransom. Malware can be installed on cloud systems using a variety of methods, such as phishing attacks or drive-by downloads.

Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks

DoS attacks are attempts to overwhelm a cloud system with traffic, making it unavailable to legitimate users. DoS attacks can disrupt business operations, damage a company's reputation, and lead to substantial financial losses.

Supply Chain Attacks

Supply chain attacks are cyberattacks that target third-party vendors who supply goods or services to a company. These attacks can be used to gain access to a company's cloud environment or data.

Insider Threats

Insider threats are security risks that come from within an organisation. These threats can be intentional or unintentional. For example, an employee could intentionally steal data or sell access to systems to an attacker.

Zero-Day Exploits

Zero-day exploits are vulnerabilities in cloud systems that are unknown to the vendor. These exploits can be exploited by attackers to gain access to systems or data.
