The Definition of a Cloud Service
Ensuring you understand the definition of a cloud service can come in handy when carrying out the Cyber Essentials process.
In the context of Cyber Essentials, a cloud service refers to any internet-based service provided by a third-party that offers resources, applications, or data storage.
This encompasses various models such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).
Types of Cloud Services
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
Provides virtualised computing resources over the internet. Users can rent virtual machines, storage, and networks. Examples include Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 and Microsoft Azure.
Platform as a Service (PaaS):
Offers a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. Examples include Google App Engine and Microsoft Azure App Services.
Software as a Service (SaaS):
Delivers software applications over the internet, typically through a web browser. Users access the software without managing or installing it locally. Examples include Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Salesforce.
Function as a Service (FaaS):
A serverless computing model that allows developers to run code in response to events without managing servers. Examples include AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions.
?? We collaborated with Chemist4U , an online NHS pharmacy, to deliver Penetration Testing services. We aimed to enhance their security measures, ensuring they maintain customer trust, adhere to regulatory standards, and safeguard confidential data.
Read more here about how our Penetration Testing services helped bolster their security posture and ensured that important areas of their systems were fully protected.
Whether it’s staying secure with the latest patches, learning about incident response strategies, or celebrating our team's achievements, we’re committed to keeping you connected and informed. Now that we’re into the final 4 months of the year, things are looking busier than ever at CybaVerse ??.
