FAQ
Common questions about Critical Infrastructure.
What counts as critical infrastructure cloud security?
It includes hardening, monitoring foundations, control alignment, and exposure reduction for cloud workloads supporting essential operations or high-consequence systems.
Does Standard Defense replace an internal security team?
No. Standard Defense supports infrastructure hardening and cloud defense work that should integrate with an organization's own security, operations, and governance processes.
