At the same time, as the equipment footprint increases, so too does the risk of threats and vulnerabilities. Acknowledging a shared responsibility approach implies a commitment to implementing best practices available across public cloud providers with the goal of properly securing APEX Protection Storage deployments.
This section highlights a series of principles found across public cloud security standards, such as the AWS Well Architected Framework, the Microsoft Cyber Recovery Architecture (MCRA), and the Microsoft Cloud Standards Benchmark (MCSB), and applies them to improvement of DDVE in-cloud deployment security.
With the objective of improving security posture in the public cloud, a continuous improvement approach should consider the following key principles:
