Cloud Security Services
Cloud security encompasses the technologies, policies, controls, and services used to protect data, applications, and systems in cloud computing environments. For universities and colleges, this means securing everything from student records and research data to email, file storage, and virtual learning environments.
NewPush provides Higher Ed-specific cloud security that accounts for FERPA, NIST 800-171, and CMMC compliance while maintaining operational agility through powerful, secure hosting that you can read more about at https://mikrovps.net/en.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cloud Security Services
What types of cloud platforms does NewPush support?
How does cloud security differ from on-premises security?
Cloud environments are dynamic, shared, and accessible from anywhere—making perimeter-based security models obsolete. Cloud security requires continuous monitoring, flexible access controls, and automated threat detection designed for distributed infrastructure and SaaS ecosystems.
Can NewPush help us secure hybrid cloud and multi-cloud deployments?
Yes. Many Higher Education institutions use a mix of on-prem systems, private cloud environments, and public cloud platforms. Our cloud security solutions are designed to unify visibility and protection across all these environments.
How does cloud security support FERPA and NIST compliance?
Our solutions enforce access control, encryption, monitoring, and data residency policies aligned with FERPA, NIST 800-171, and CMMC frameworks. We also provide detailed audit logs, risk assessments, and technical controls to support regulatory documentation.
What if our IT team is already using Microsoft or Google security tools?
That's great. We don't replace your existing tools—we enhance them. We integrate with your current stack to fill in gaps, centralize alerting, and improve context-rich decision-making.
Can NewPush help monitor third-party SaaS applications?
Yes. We provide visibility and control across unmanaged and approved SaaS apps. Our Shadow IT monitoring tools detect unsanctioned app usage and help you apply governance to reduce exposure.
Will this service create extra overhead for our internal team?
Not at all. We provide co-managed and fully managed options so your internal team stays focused on strategic initiatives while we handle the heavy lifting of securing your cloud footprint.
How quickly can we get started?
After a discovery call, we can typically begin with a Cloud Security Assessment within a few days and roll out actionable recommendations and protections shortly thereafter.
