Endpoints are the most common entry point for attackers. Integrating EDR with your SIEM gives security teams correlated visibility across endpoint telemetry and network events — enabling faster detection and more accurate investigation of security incidents.

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools provide deep visibility into process execution, file system changes, registry modifications, and network connections at the device level. When this telemetry flows into a SIEM, security analysts gain the ability to correlate endpoint events with network logs, authentication data, and cloud activity to detect sophisticated multi-stage attacks.
IAM is the foundation of cloud security. Enforce MFA on all accounts, especially root and admin. Implement least privilege access. Users and services should only have permissions they need. Use IAM roles instead of long-lived access keys. Regularly audit permissions and remove unused accounts. Set up centralised identity with SSO where possible.
Encrypt data at rest using platform-managed or customer-managed keys (KMS). Enforce TLS for all data in transit. Use private subnets for databases and internal services. Never expose them to the public internet. Implement security groups with deny-by-default rules. Enable VPC flow logs to monitor network traffic. Use secrets management services (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault) instead of hardcoding credentials.
Enable cloud audit logging (CloudTrail, Azure Activity Log) across all regions and accounts. Set up real-time alerting for suspicious activities — failed logins, privilege escalations, resource deletions. Use configuration compliance tools (AWS Config, Azure Policy) to detect drift from security baselines. Map your controls to relevant frameworks — CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, ISO 27001, RBI guidelines — depending on your industry and regulatory requirements.
Conclusion
Cloud security is not a one-time setup. It requires continuous monitoring and improvement. By implementing these foundational practices early, enterprises can scale confidently while maintaining a strong security posture.
