Hybrid cloud security

Protect every layer of your infrastructure — from data center to cloud

Your organization’s expanding attack surface requires strategic cloud security.

Hybrid-cloud security is vital as more organizations combine public and private IT infrastructures. However, there are numerous security challenges to consider, including compliance, visibility, data exposure, supply chain protection, identity, shadow IT, and misconfigurations.

Security in hybrid environments isn’t the job of one technology, but rather a latticework of solutions that work together to help you secure and manage your clouds with ease. No two hybrid cloud environments look the same, but SHI can assist you in securing your organization’s cloud infrastructure with our assessments, tools, and processes. Leaning on SHI labs, you can make data-driven decisions for better business outcomes.

With SHI’s state-of-the-art Customer Innovation Center, we help you evaluate your cloud infrastructure, comply with regulatory frameworks and industry best practices, and develop an actionable roadmap to secure your organization in the cloud.

API security

Protecting your organization’s application programming interfaces (APIs) is essential to maintaining secure and reliable digital operations. Our API security approach combines strategic planning, advanced tools, and proven procedures to safeguard against unauthorized access and data breaches. Key areas of focus include access control, identity-based authentication, content validation, rate limiting, continuous monitoring, analytics, and data protection. By implementing these measures, we help ensure your APIs remain resilient, compliant, and secure across all environments.

Segmentation

Network segmentation is a critical strategy for minimizing the impact of potential data breaches. By dividing a network into smaller, isolated segments, organizations can contain threats and prevent them from spreading across the entire infrastructure. Tools such as virtual private clouds (VPCs) enable effective segmentation by creating secure, logically separated environments. Additionally, network access control lists (ACLs) provide granular control over traffic flow, allowing administrators to monitor, restrict, and manage access based on predefined rules. Together, these measures strengthen overall security posture and enhance operational resilience.

Identity and access management

Effective identity and access management (IAM) is essential to protecting critical IT assets and ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive systems and data. The principle of least privilege should be enforced at every level, limiting access to only what is necessary for users to perform their core functions. Best practices in IAM include rotating access keys regularly, implementing service-linked roles for tighter control, and continuously monitoring access patterns to detect anomalies and suspicious behavior. These measures help organizations maintain a secure, compliant, and resilient digital environment.

Supply chain

Your organization is responsible for the safety and control of on-premises infrastructure. However, your platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) vendors will have varying degrees of responsibility for their security. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) requires more from your organization, including configurations, data encryption, access management, and various security settings.

Incident response

Having an incident response plan is imperative to help your organization bounce back from an attack with the least amount of damage. Strengthen your incident response plan by assigning clear roles to all stakeholders, scheduling regular rehearsals of playbooks, documenting the results, and introducing automated incident detection wherever possible.
