In an increasingly regulated and interconnected digital world, where your data lives and how resilient it is, is no longer a purely technical question.

Managing network security across multiple cloud instances can get complicated. Each server needs different rules based on its use. Your web servers need to talk to the world, but your databases should stay locked down. Your production environment requires stricter rules than staging. And when you’re scaling quickly, you can’t manually configure every instance from scratch. That’s where Security Groups come in. Think of a Security Group as a reusable firewall template.
