Protecting Your Cloud Infrastructure: Best Practices for KSA Businesses
Zero Trust Architecture: The Future of Cybersecurity in the Kingdom
Cloud computing has revolutionized the way organizations operate—enabling scalability, flexibility, and faster innovation. But with these advantages comes a new set of cybersecurity challenges. In fact, a significant percentage of cloud breaches are caused by misconfigurations, weak access controls, and inadequate visibility into cloud environments.
As Saudi Arabia and the broader GCC embrace cloud-first strategies in line with Vision 2030, securing cloud infrastructure has become mission-critical—especially in regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and energy.
Common Cloud Security Risks:
- Misconfigured storage buckets and services
- Unauthorized access due to poor identity management
- Lack of visibility across multi-cloud and hybrid environments
- Inadequate compliance with national cybersecurity regulations
Best Practices for Cloud Security
Secure Access Controls: Apply robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies. Limit access based on roles, use multi-factor authentication, and monitor user behavior.
Data Encryption: Encrypt sensitive data both in transit and at rest. Ensure encryption keys are securely managed and stored separately.
Regular Security Audits: Continuously monitor your cloud environment for misconfigurations, policy violations, and unusual activities that could signal an attack.
Regular Compliance:
Ensure alignment with local cybersecurity regulations such as:
- SAMA Cybersecurity Framework (for financial institutions)
- National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) Controls
- Saudi PDPL (Personal Data Protection Law)
These frameworks require specific cloud governance and risk management protocols.
