It seems like a huge chunk of our data storage needs are now being met by "the cloud" - that ever-mysterious, borderline-miraculous technology that forms the foundation of the internet in 2024. Heck, the laptop that I am writing this very article on has no internal storage whatsoever, relying entirely on the cloud for all file management needs. With all of the innovation that has taken place over the course of the past few years in mind, however, one question looms: What is "the cloud", anyway?
In short, what we know as the cloud is in reality anything but. There is no magical, nebulous data structure hanging over our heads at all times, and there is no such thing as decentralized storage. "The cloud" is actually just a term used to refer to the digital equivalent of a lease - you are renting space on someone else's computer, allowing you to store your files securely off-site.
The benefits of this are clear: you no longer have to worry about limited storage space or about upgrading your hardware - someone else handles all that for you. Cloud networks are also remarkably secure by their very nature, protected by top-of-the-line monitoring software, and regularly backed up offline.
With that in mind, though, a new problem comes into focus. Cloud storage is highly secure, sure - but what about your access to that data? What about the systems that keep bad actors out of your network; the gateway to your cloud storage systems must be as secure as the systems themselves!
When it comes to protecting your cloud access points, the Azure IAM consulting firm is the clear answer. They have the tools and knowledge necessary to build a robust access management infrastructure that keeps your data safe in that critical moment of transfer between the cloud and your machine.
To accomplish this, they combine Microsoft Azure with a range of add-ons, including, most notably, Okta.
Okta’s Cloud Access Security Broker protocol enables a range of security automation procedures that would be otherwise impossible through the base Azure software suite. Using this add-on, your organization can establish near-impenetrable digital perimeters that extend to both your on-premise and cloud-based data storage structures.
This service can also be used to create further secure connections with a wide range of business management and cloud storage software, such as Google products, Dropbox, Salesforce, and more. Okta can be used to monitor all of these systems simultaneously, cataloging and flagging atypical network behavior in the process.
These federated systems can be used to unsilo data and create a much-improved access management experience for your end user and administrators alike. Passwordless systems like the Authenticator app or Yubikey can also be added to the network through Azure AD to further streamline the verification process.
These specialty deployments have been successfully implemented for private companies, non-profits, and government organizations with sprawling multi-system networks in the past. These organizations typically have flawed security infrastructure, which is a problem that Azure IAM hopes to help address through their diligent service.
Azure IAM is supported by a team of Microsoft-certified access management experts with a combined 50 years of security experience. Past clients have included high-profile organizations in the private sector, in healthcare, and government agencies at the state and federal levels.
