CloudMile Launches Information Security Management Solution
Effectively managing information security risks has become the
foremost challenge for businesses in light of the growing popularity of digital
transformation. CloudMile, a leading artificial intelligence and cloud service
provider in Asia, announces the launch of its "Information Security
Management Solution" tailored for corporate clients, dedicating to
addressing risks associated with hybrid multi-cloud environments and AI
applications. Leveraging the robust data ecosystems of major public clouds and
real-time technical support from the CloudMile team, the solution aims to help
enterprises defend against cyber security threats.
Increasing Risks of Data Leaks Arising from Cloud and AI
Applications
As various cloud-native solutions continue to advance in
sophistication, many enterprises are gradually migrating their traditional data
centres to the cloud to reduce hardware procurement and maintenance costs while
increasing the scalability and flexibility of their organisations. However, in
hybrid cloud environments, businesses are confronted with risk management
challenges during the integration of cloud and on-premises systems, including a
lack of clarity on the differences between cloud and on-premises information
security products and a lack of knowledge among internal staff in utilising and
implementing cloud security products, etc. In case of user error or
misconfiguration in the cloud, the resulted data leaks can lead to significant
losses for businesses.
Together with the widespread applications of Generative AI
(GenAI) in recent years, the data and relevant information collected and stored
herein may be shared with third parties such as vendors and service providers.
During the process of sharing data, unauthorised attackers may gain access to and steal the data. Without necessary data
protection measures in place, this exposes information security risks, such as
data breaches and theft of user information.
84% of Organisations Experienced Hacking Incidents Last Year
According to the latest survey conducted in 2023 by security
solution provider Fortinet, 84% of respondents indicated that their
organisations had been hacked at least once in the past year. Among those
affected, 48% of enterprises reported economic losses exceeding $1 million
(equivalent to approximately HKD 7.8 million) due to vulnerabilities in
information security. In addition, 46% of the organisations considered
"cloud security skills" as the most needed information security skill
by businesses today. Last year, two public institutions in Hong Kong fell
victim to hackers, resulting in the theft of a significant volume of sensitive
data and subsequent demands for ransom. These incidents underscore the
increasing importance of information security. Businesses can protect their
sensitive and confidential data through third-party professional information
security management services.
