Over the course of the pandemic, cloud infrastructure and services offered a lifeline to many organizations and their partners and customers around the world. But the phenomenal growth in deployments over recent months has come with its own challenges. Many organizations lack resources to ensure cloud infrastructure is configured and deployed securely.<\/p>\n

Our Trend Micro Cloud One\u2122 \u2013 Conformity<\/a> offering was built for exactly these challenges. The good news is, we\u2019re now expanding its support for multi-clouds and Terraform users to add even more value for our customers.<\/p>\n

Cloud security isn\u2019t easy<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizations are often expanding their Infrastructure as a Service footprint faster than they can secure it, which lead to increased misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. Estimates suggest<\/a> 92% of enterprises now have a multi-cloud strategy and 80% have a hybrid cloud strategy. The complexity of cloud environments can cause challenges. Cloud service providers today offer hundreds of services in their platforms to help customers drive innovation. Yet these require specialized skills to ensure they\u2019re running in a secure and compliant fashion. Misconfiguration<\/a> of resources is commonplace and can lead to sensitive data leaks and other risks.<\/p>\n

As an AWS Technology Partner of the Year, Cloud One \u2013 Conformity has a proven track record for understanding the challenges facing its cloud customers, and providing innovative solutions to overcome them. Conformity enables organizations to fulfil their side of the shared responsibility model<\/a> by automatically checking for adherence to best practices and compliance standards for their cloud configurations, from development to runtime. And it allows the same organizations to auto-remediate issues they find, with self-healing and integration into DevOps workflows.<\/p>\n

However, Trend Micro Cloud One is always looking for new ways to innovate, as the complexity and velocity of cloud adoption continues to accelerate. That\u2019s why we added over 250 configuration checks for Microsoft Azure<\/a> environments, complementing the hundreds we already offer to AWS<\/a> customers. And it\u2019s why we\u2019re now adding support for Google Cloud. Here are the key points of the announcement:<\/p>\n
