Take the complexity out of

Cloud security

As your trusted multi-cloud, zero-trust security partner, we take the complexity out of cloud security, helping you confidently protect what matters most without slowing down your business.

Cloud security services built for multi-cloud needs

Cloud security is about protecting data, applications and workloads running in cloud environments using the right mix of technology, processes and people. Datacom helps organisations strengthen their cloud security posture by applying industry‑standard practices, integrating controls with existing cybersecurity capabilities and aligning with relevant frameworks and regulatory expectations. Our cloud security services complement Datacom’s broader cybersecurity and security operations capabilities, including 24/7 monitoring, incident response and data protection services.

Our threat-informed zero-trust approach means no one gets access unless they absolutely need it, and every action is monitored. This is especially critical in multi-cloud environments where apps and data move across platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and beyond. 

By building security controls directly into your cloud estates, applying principles like least privilege, just-in-time access, micro-segmentation, and continuous validation, we help reduce your attack surface and keep threats out.

2026 CYBERSECURITY INDEX

The resiliency gap

This year’s results reveal a gap between confidence in threat monitoring and readiness to recover. Three-quarters of New Zealand and Australian organisations report visibility, yet only a third have a tested continuity plan.

The report also explores how AI is reshaping cyber‑attacks and defence, why traditional cybersecurity service partnerships need to change, and the cultural and sovereignty issues influencing cyber readiness.

Frequently asked questions

Is the cloud safe?

Yes, if it’s set up properly. Cloud providers invest a lot in security, but you still need to do your part to keep things safe.

Who’s responsible for security in the cloud?

Both you and the cloud provider share the job. They protect the cloud itself, and you protect what you put in it.

How do we control who can access our cloud systems?

You can set up accounts with passwords and permissions so only the right people can get in.

How is our data protected in the cloud?

Your data is locked using encryption, both when it’s stored and when it’s being sent somewhere.

Can we still follow rules like GDPR or HIPAA in the cloud?

Yes, many cloud providers support these rules, but you need to set things up correctly to stay compliant.

How do we keep our cloud-based apps secure?

Use strong passwords and multi factor authentication, keep software updated, and test for weaknesses regularly.

How do we spot and stop security threats?

There are tools that watch for unusual activity and alert you if something looks wrong.

What is Zero Trust security?

It means not automatically trusting anyone or anything—everyone has to prove they’re allowed in, every time.

Can we see who’s doing what in our cloud systems?

Yes, we turn on logging to track activity. It helps with audits and spotting problems.

What are the biggest cloud security risks?

The most common ones are weak passwords, accidental data leaks, and not keeping systems updated. Good habits and regular checks help prevent them.

What is SD-WAN security?

SD-WAN security refers to the security measures integrated into or alongside SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) solutions to protect the network and its data from cyber threats. It combines the performance optimisation and management capabilities of SD-WAN with robust security features, like firewalls, intrusion prevention, and encryption, to create a secure and reliable network environment, especially for businesses with distributed locations and cloud connections.
