Hardening cloud devices: The process of implementing security measures to protect devices connected to cloud services and the data they handle from threats. This involves steps such as updating firmware, using strong access controls, disabling unnecessary services, encrypting data, and configuring network security to prevent unauthorized access. Since these devices often deal with sensitive data and are internet-connected, hardening is essential to ensure their security.
