💭 Cloud Security: A Growing Challenge for SMBs As more small and mid-sized businesses move their operations to the cloud, attackers are following close behind. From misconfigured storage to weak credentials and limited visibility, cloud security gaps can quickly turn into real business risks. But here’s the good news — you don’t need an enterprise budget to build strong defenses. Start with the basics: ✅ Enforce multi-factor authentication ✅ Continuously monitor cloud configurations ✅ Segment networks to limit damage ✅ Train your team — security starts with awareness Cloud security isn’t just about tools. It’s about culture, process, and preparation. If you haven’t reviewed your cloud posture recently, now’s a good time to start. #CanteyTech #CloudSecurity #CyberResilience #SMBProtection #DataSecurity #CyberAwareness

Most small business owners think the cloud provider handles all the security — but that’s only half true. You’re still responsible for your passwords, access, and backups. In this video, I broke down cloud security in plain English — no tech jargon, no fluff — just what every business owner needs to keep their data safe. Watch, learn, and protect your business before it’s too late. #CloudSecurity #SmallBusiness #CyberAwareness #CloudComputing CAWI #ifekiikuphillips

When I started exploring cloud security, I thought mastering every tool was the key. IAM, GuardDuty, WAF, the list never ended. But with time, I learned something different. Security isn’t about knowing every service. It’s about how you think. The best security professionals don’t just protect systems. They anticipate risks. They question everything. Configurations, access, and assumptions. Tools change. Principles don’t. Curiosity and discipline remain the foundation. #CloudSecurity #CyberCareer #AWSCommunity #DevSecOps #TechLeadership #CareerGrowth #SecurityMindset #CloudArchitecture

Privileged access doesn’t need to be risky. April 2025 Gartner® report makes it clear: to protect today’s complex IT, cloud, and OT environments, organizations must move beyond traditional PAM. That means: • No more always-on admin rights • Embracing Just-in-Time (JIT) access • Applying Just-Enough Privilege (JEP)—only what’s needed, when it’s needed We're proud that Xage Security was named in the report as a key vendor enabling this shift.

Password hygiene is essential in closing the security gap addressing stale passwords, enforcing password complexity requirements, checking out/in passwords on privilege accounts, and more. Having a single place to do this as well as enforce least privilege remote access for IT/OT and critical infrastructure ensures a layered defense approach to any organization's cybersecurity strategy ! #xage #PrivilegeAccounts #PasswordManagement
