| Segmentation | Segment the network into different security zones to limit the potential impact of a security incident. |
| Firewall | Use a firewall to control incoming and outgoing traffic and protect the network from unauthorized access. |
| Virtual Private Network (VPN) | Use a VPN to securely connect mobile users to the network over the internet. |
| Load balancing | Use load balancing to distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers to improve performance and ensure availability. |
| Network Address Translation (NAT) | Use NAT to hide the internal IP addresses of servers from the public internet. |
| Domain Name System (DNS) | Use a DNS service to map domain names to IP addresses and improve the reliability and scalability of the network. |
| Monitoring | Implement monitoring and logging to track network activity and detect security incidents. |
| Intrusion detection and prevention | Use intrusion detection and prevention systems to detect and block malicious network activity. |
| Content delivery networks (CDN) | Use a CDN to improve the performance and availability of the app by caching content closer to users. |
| Cloud-native architecture | Use cloud-native architecture principles and technologies, such as containers and microservices, to improve the scalability and resilience of the network. |
| Identity and Access Management (IAM) | Use IAM to control access to network resources based on user identity and role. |
| Patch Management | Keep all the network devices and software up-to-date with the latest security patches. |
| Cloud Provider Selection | Carefully select the cloud provider that best aligns with your security, compliance, and performance needs. |
| Secure Network Design | Implement a secure network design that includes secure access controls, firewalls, and secure protocols |
| Secure Data Transmission | Ensure that all data transmission between the mobile app and the cloud is secure, using encryption and secure protocols. |
| Secure Data Storage | Ensure that all data stored in the cloud is encrypted and stored in a secure manner. |
| Cloud-based security tools | Utilize cloud-based security tools such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), DDoS protection, and intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) to secure the network |
| Compliance | Ensure that the cloud infrastructure and services comply with relevant security standards and regulations |
| Incident Response | Have a well-defined incident response plan in place to handle any security incidents that may occur. |
