Cloud Security Monitoring for SMBs

Quick answer

Cloud security monitoring collects audit logs from identity providers and cloud platforms, correlates them with endpoint telemetry, and escalates abuse of admin roles, public storage buckets, and anomalous API activity.

MDR vs MPR

MDR covers endpoints, servers, and optional cloud productivity logs, ideal for growing SMBs. MPR adds AWS, Azure, and GCP workload monitoring plus threat hunting for multi-cloud or app-heavy teams.

Common cloud incidents we detect

New admin users, disabled MFA on break-glass accounts, S3/Azure blob exposure, cryptocurrency mining in compromised VMs, and stolen API keys used from foreign IPs.

Shared responsibility

Cloud providers secure the platform. You secure identities, configurations, and data. Monitoring proves you operated controls, critical for PDPA, insurers, and enterprise customer questionnaires.

Common questions

We only use SaaS, do we need cloud monitoring?

SaaS identity and productivity logs are available on MDR (optional) and included on MPR. Full IaaS (AWS/Azure/GCP) monitoring is MPR and Managed SOC.
