☁️ Cloud Security

Cloud security is a collection of policies, controls, procedures, and technologies that work together to protect cloud-based systems, data, and infrastructure. As more and more organizations move to the cloud, cloud security has become a critical area of cybersecurity.

The Shared Responsibility Model

The shared responsibility model is a key concept in cloud security. It defines the security responsibilities of the cloud provider and the customer. In general, the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the cloud, while the customer is responsible for security in the cloud.

Unique Challenges of Cloud Security

• Misconfigurations: Cloud environments are complex and can be difficult to configure securely. Misconfigurations are a leading cause of cloud security breaches.
• Identity and Access Management (IAM): Managing identities and access in the cloud can be challenging, especially in large and complex environments.
• Lack of Visibility: It can be difficult to get a complete picture of what is happening in a cloud environment, which can make it difficult to detect and respond to security incidents.
