Cloud Security Services.

Protect your cloud network from the risk of attack with our state-of-the-art cloud security services

Secure, control, and monitor your cloud applications

The Missing Link partners with world-leading vendors to procure and configure security solutions that protect cloud environments from unauthorised access and attack

Cloud networks have become mainstream, with 85% of web traffic now taking place on public, private or hybrid cloud infrastructure. For businesses, cloud environments are saving money, improving and accelerating innovation, and enabling a more agile workforce to meet market trends and competitive pressures.

However, traditional approaches to network security cannot keep up with rapidly changing cloud environments and the constant cyber-attack threat.

In recognition of the financial and reputational damage wreaked on individuals, organisations and government by cyber-offences, regulations now impose heavy fines for unreported data breaches. Additionally, many industries uphold best-practice security standards that companies must show evidence of attaining before they can bid for contracts.

This makes it essential to invest in sophisticated security products to protect your cloud environment - whether it’s a multi-cloud environment or a stand-alone public, private or hybrid cloud solution.

However, no matter how sophisticated your security software, your cloud will not be safe from cyber criminals unless you implement policies and controls to protect your unique environment.

At the Missing Link, we will customise an effective and holistic cybersecurity solution to protect your data and applications. Based on gathered intelligence about your business and your user needs, our security solution will include authentication of users and devices, managing access control for data and resources, automating provisioning and de-provisioning of users, and protecting data and applications with encryption. Importantly, as your cybersecurity experts, the solution we recommend will provide authorised users with streamlined access to the applications and websites they need to perform their role with efficiency.

The cloud environment we develop for you will monitor threats in real-time, include regular reviews and penetration testing to identify emerging vulnerabilities, and bolster your team’s resistance to security risks with awareness programs and training.

FAQs

  • How does cloud security work?

    Cloud security protects data, applications, and workloads hosted in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments through layered technical and governance controls.

    This includes identity enforcement, encryption, network segmentation, configuration management, and continuous monitoring.

    The Missing Link designs cloud security architectures aligned to your chosen cloud platform and regulatory requirements to ensure secure, scalable, and resilient environments.

  • What are the main security risks in cloud environments?

    Common cloud security risks include misconfigured storage, excessive permissions, weak identity controls, insecure APIs, and lateral movement between workloads.

    Multi-cloud environments increase complexity and expand the attack surface. For Australian organisations handling regulated data, misconfiguration can also introduce compliance risk under frameworks such as Essential Eight or APRA CPS 234.

    The Missing Link conducts structured cloud security assessments to identify and remediate these risks early.

  • How is cloud security different from traditional network security?

    Traditional security models rely on perimeter-based controls designed for on-premise environments.

    Cloud security requires identity-first architecture, workload visibility, and continuous monitoring across distributed infrastructure.

    The Missing Link implements cloud-native security controls that protect dynamic workloads rather than relying solely on legacy firewall boundaries.

  • Can existing security solutions be adapted for cloud environments?

    Some on-premise security tools can be extended into cloud environments, but they often require redesign to support cloud-native architecture.

    The Missing Link evaluates your current security stack and determines whether controls should be adapted, replaced, or enhanced with cloud-specific capabilities to ensure effective protection.

  • What security services are essential for cloud protection?

    Core cloud security services include identity and access management, multi-factor authentication, encryption, cloud configuration reviews, workload monitoring, and integration with security operations.

    The Missing Link combines technical controls with governance policies to ensure secure access while maintaining operational efficiency.

     

  • How do you secure cloud applications?

    Securing cloud applications involves enforcing strong identity controls, encrypting sensitive data, monitoring user activity, and testing configurations for vulnerabilities.

    The Missing Link supports cloud application security through secure architecture design, ongoing monitoring, and regular penetration testing where appropriate.

     

  • When should an organisation conduct a cloud security review?

    A cloud security review should be conducted after major migrations, infrastructure changes, regulatory updates, or when expanding into multi-cloud environments.

    Regular reviews help identify misconfigurations, privilege creep, and evolving threat exposure.

    The Missing Link provides periodic cloud security assessments to ensure controls remain aligned to business growth and compliance obligations.

Perfect Partner Experience

The new platform is continually kept up to date with categorisation and profiling of new threats and classification of existing traffic. Being able to focus on what is actually happening rather than reacting to close a new threat has saved a lot of time. Being able to see where our compliance was not 100%, we were able to act early and educate our people on the dangers and implications of not following our policies. This has helped us pro-actively understand patterns and educate our staff about the risks of the Internet before we have a serious incident.
