Cloud Security from the Field Part 3 Azure Security Center
Understanding and navigating the shared responsibility model between cloud providers and customers is crucial. Cloud providers secure the underlying infrastructure, while customers are responsible for securing their data, applications, and configurations within the cloud environment.
This is the 3th and last video of this course
Is your organization moving toward the cloud? If you are in IT today, the answer is most likely yes. And, that being the case, security is probably a concern.
Join experts Raymond Comvalius and Erdal Ozkaya for a detailed look at issues that come with cloud integration and how to address them. Get an introduction to the security landscape and how to navigate it in a modern way.
See where to focus when you manage and verify robust security at the physical, network, host, application, and data layers.
Learn best practices for security-aware deployment, operational management, and threat mitigation to help protect all your data, make services resilient to attack, and stay in control—no matter how your cloud systems evolve.
| Azure Security Center Learn how to deal with cloud security concerns by utilizing tools that help you to get more security and to unlock opportunities that the cloud has to offer.

CISO Insight
Cybersecurity is not a product you buy or a project you complete — it is a continuous operational discipline. The organisations that achieve genuine security maturity embed security thinking into every business decision, invest in people and processes alongside technology, and build resilience for the inevitable day when preventive controls fail.
The Evolving Cybersecurity Landscape
The threat landscape continues to evolve at a pace that challenges even well-resourced security teams. AI-powered attacks, supply chain compromises, ransomware-as-a-service, and state-sponsored campaigns create a multi-dimensional threat environment no single technology can address. Organisations that defend most effectively take a risk-based approach — understanding which assets are most critical, which threats are most likely, and where investments will have the greatest impact. For CISOs, translating this complexity into actionable strategy requires quantifying cyber risk in business terms, prioritising based on risk reduction, and communicating in language that resonates with non-technical stakeholders.
Building a Defence-in-Depth Strategy
Effective cybersecurity requires layered defences addressing the full attack lifecycle — from reconnaissance through exfiltration. No single control is sufficient; every control can be bypassed by sufficiently motivated adversaries. The goal is creating enough layers that attackers must overcome multiple independent defences, while ensuring detection and response capabilities identify and contain breaches before catastrophic damage. The most common mistake organisations make is treating security as a technology problem rather than a business risk management discipline. The fundamentals — patch management, access control, security awareness, incident response planning — prevent more breaches than any advanced technology.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the biggest cybersecurity mistake organisations make?
Buying security tools without coherent strategy, skipping basic hygiene in favour of advanced solutions, and failing to invest in people and processes. The fundamentals prevent more breaches than advanced technology.
How should CISOs prioritise security investments?
Start with risk assessment identifying critical assets and likely threats. Prioritise controls for highest-risk scenarios. Ensure basic hygiene is solid before investing in advanced capabilities. Use NIST CSF or CIS Controls to structure your programme and measure progress with board-friendly metrics.
