Cloud Security - Your data stored securely in the cloud

Protecting your data is of central importance when working in the cloud, as it can become the target of cyber attacks, just like in traditional on-premise environments. Special security precautions are required to protect data in the cloud. These include encryption and secure authentication methods such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and passwordless authentication to prevent unauthorized access. In addition, continuous monitoring is essential to detect anomalies at an early stage and ensure a rapid response. @-yet supports you with customized security concepts to ensure the secure operation of your cloud environment.

Data protection is not only essential for sensitive data in your corporate network. Data breaches in the cloud pose a significant risk, as sensitive information such as personal data, financial data and trade secrets can be exposed. Insufficient security measures, insecure interfaces or lack of access controls open the door to data theft.

@-yet helps you to develop and comply with strict security guidelines, to apply encryption techniques and to use multi-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access. Our experts will develop a comprehensive security concept for you to protect your data and prevent data breaches.

Do you know where your cloud provider stores your data? Especially with large providers, this is not always so clear. If the cloud servers are not operated in the EU, there is a risk of conflict with data protection law.

Compliance violations are a significant risk when working in the cloud. You need to ensure that your cloud provider complies with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and adheres to relevant compliance standards. This becomes a challenge when data is stored in countries outside the EU.

@-yet can help you in two ways. Our data protection experts ensure that you comply with the applicable regulations when using the cloud, while our security specialists keep an eye on the security of your cloud applications.

As part of the cloud security assessment, @-yet checks all relevant security aspects of your cloud environment. This includes a risk assessment as well as the identification and classification of vulnerabilities. After the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive findings report that outlines possible security gaps and vulnerabilities found. You will also receive specific recommendations for action to improve the security of your cloud environment.

Methodology: How @-yet works

• Joint coordination of IT processes, applications and dependent systems
• Analysis of the cloud infrastructure
• Evaluation of the cloud environment with regard to network, storage and access security
• Preparation of a findings report including measures for action

Your advantages

• Increasing IT security in the cloud infrastructure environment
• Reducing the risk of data leakage and/or infection of the hybrid environment
• Transparent technical presentation of the current status of the cloud environment
• Specific recommendations for action for each identified vulnerability
• Ideal preparation for an audit or upcoming certification 

Companies are increasingly switching to the cloud. They often mistakenly believe that security in these environments is already guaranteed by default. However, cloud-based systems are constantly being attacked and successfully compromised by attackers. @-yet identifies specific vulnerabilities in cloud-based resources during simulated attacks. The experts check the extent to which these can be exploited and provide support in remedying and hardening them. 

Methodology: How @-yet works

• Simulation of real cyberattacks on cloud-based resources
• Identification and exploitation of vulnerabilities from the perspective of external attackers
• Application of a variety of complex and constantly evolving test procedures
• Compilation of clear recommendations for action and support with remediation  

Your advantages

• Current situation overview with regard to existing vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
• Awareness & skill-building regarding modern attack vectors
• Increasing the technical security level of the cloud environment  

The @-yet cloud adoption framework is a strategic concept for cloud architecture. Based on your requirements, @-yet creates a customized solution concept for a secure cloud architecture. This includes appropriate documentation, technical templates, and best practice recommendations, ensuring a smooth and secure integration of the cloud.

Methodology: How @-yet works

• Determination of customer requirements for a cloud architecture
• Development of a solution concept for the cloud or hybrid architecture  
• Final presentation of the cloud/hybrid architecture concept  

Your advantages

• Provision of a holistic security and architecture concept for the cloud
• Incident-ready cloud thanks to 20 years of experience in the incident response field
• Secure cloud through prioritization of currently exploited vulnerabilities
• Risk reduction in relation to compliance violations (NIS-2, DORA) and cyber attacks  

C5 stands for "Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue" and describes the minimum requirements for secure cloud computing. The @-yet assessment is the ideal way to prepare your company for official C5 certification. It enables the evaluation of internal security measures and processes in terms of compliance with the strict C5 criteria of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). The results obtained are then summarized in the C5 security assessment report. 

Methodology: How @-yet works

• Conducting an internal audit to check compliance with the C5 criteria
• Creation of an audit report with strengths, weaknesses and recommendations for improvement  
• Identification of security gaps  
• Definition of specific recommendations for action to close the gaps  

Your advantages

• Optimal preparation for the official C5 certification
• C5 certification gives cloud providers access to new customer segments
• Cost savings through proactive identification of gaps
• Improving the security of provided cloud services 

With "Data governance and data protection in the cloud", @-yet offers comprehensive solutions to protect sensitive data in the cloud. And beyond. Data classification, legally compliant data retention, and data deletion compliant with data protection regulations play a crucial role. @-yet provides additional security mechanisms such as data loss prevention. This ensures compliance requirements are met and your data is protected in the cloud. 

Methodology: How @-yet works 

• Concept development for data retention, deletion and prevention of data loss
• Manual and automated data classification for protection and better management
• Implementation of DLP functions to protect data from unauthorized access and loss
• Implementation of functions for legally compliant retention and deletion of data
• Automated compliance checks to fulfill regulatory requirements  

Your advantages

• Cross-platform protection of your data through classification and DLP functionality
• Compliance with legal requirements (GDPR) and standards (ISO 27001)
• Efficient data management through automated processes  
• Reducing the risk of data theft from inside and outside the company
