Hybrid cloud security generally follows best practices for network security and cloud security : Network segmentation decreases attack surfaces. Role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication ( MFA ) regulate resource access. Continuous security monitoring identifies and responds to threats in real time.

DNS communicates in plain text and, without modification, DNS assumes that all information it receives is accurate, authentic, and authoritative. To protect the protocol, best practices will add additional protocols to the process that encrypt the DNS communication and authenticate the results. MFA methods should be carefully selected.
