    RASED Solutions: Cloud & Infrastructure Security

    Most cloud incidents are not exotic. They are an open storage bucket, a service account with far more permission than its job needs, a management interface reachable from the internet, or a flat network where one compromised laptop can reach the database. The RASED Solutions cloud and infrastructure family exists to find and close those doors continuously rather than once a year.

    What the review covers

    The work starts from the configuration state you actually run — not the architecture diagram. Posture review across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud is combined with identity hardening, network segmentation review and validation that backups restore within the recovery time the business assumes.

    • Cloud posture review for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
    • Identity and access hardening, privileged account control
    • Network segmentation and perimeter review
    • Backup and recovery validation

    Identity is the real perimeter

    In a cloud estate the firewall is no longer the boundary; the access token is. Dormant accounts from former staff, long-lived keys committed to a repository years ago, and administrative roles granted for one migration and never revoked account for a large share of what an attacker uses after the first foothold.

    Recovery is a security control

    Backups that have never been restored are an assumption, not a control. At least one copy should be immutable or physically offline, restoration should be tested on a schedule against a realistic recovery time objective, and backup administration should require credentials separate from domain administration.

    The practical takeaway

    Cloud security is mostly configuration and identity discipline, reviewed continuously. Map what you run, tighten who can reach it, and prove you can restore it.
