As you planning a move into the cloud, security needs to be near the top of your mind. Security in the cloud is a “shared responsibility” between you and your cloud provider and it needs to be included as a part of the architecture and planning for your deployment, and not simply “dealt with later.”
Cloud providers are responsible for ensuring the security of their infrastructure, but are not responsible for the security of your applcations, your data, or even your access to the management console. In fact, just a lack of adding password protection to one of Tesla’s AWS consoles resulted in a cyberattack in which the account was used to mine cryptocurrency (https://www.wired.com/story/cryptojacking-tesla-amazon-cloud/). Gartner has stated publicly (Gartner, “How to Respond to the 2020 Threat Landscape”) that “at least 99% of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault.”
Some security issues can be resolved by simply implementing password protection or role based access controls (RBAC), but other issues are more complex and require more work. It is estimated that securing a simple EC2 instance with an S3 bucket for storage can take several hours, and that’s not counting the software or data deployed on that instance.
