Cloud Security: Training Course

What Is Cloud Security?

Cloud security is the set of practices that protect the data, applications and systems an organization keeps in the cloud. The work is shared: the cloud provider secures its platform, and the customer secures how it sets up and uses each service. Cloud security keeps information private, accurate and available, whether the organization uses a public cloud service, its own private cloud or a mix of both.

Why Is Cloud Security Important?

As more organizations move to the cloud, weak practices, complex controls and settings configured the wrong way have become common causes of breaches. Organizations need their cloud services to meet their security requirements and the laws that apply to them. ISO/IEC 27017 guides cloud providers and customers in choosing cloud security controls, and ISO/IEC 27018 helps cloud providers protect personal data.
