Securing file storage

File storage is a piece of storage such as the on-premises network-attached storage (NAS).

Each cloud provider has its own implementation of file storage, but at the end of the day, the basic idea of file storage are described as follows:

They offer support for common file sharing protocols (such as NFS and SMB/CIFS).
They have the ability to mount a volume from a managed file service into an operating system to store and retrieve files, for multiple VMs, in parallel.
They have the ability to control access permissions to the remote filesystem.
They enable automatic filesystem growth.

Next, we are going to examine the best practices for securing file storage services from AWS, Azure, and GCP.
