Cloud Security #51

Closed waghsangam2 closed 1 day ago

waghsangam2 commented 1 day ago

Cloud security refers to the set of technologies, policies and services designed to protect data and applications.

  1. Data Security: Protects sensitive data in the cloud through encryption, both when it's at rest (stored in databases) and in transit (moving between users and cloud services).

  2. Identity and Access Management (IAM): Ensures that only authorized users have access to specific data and applications.

  3. Network Security: Implements firewall configurations, virtual private networks (VPNs), and intrusion detection systems (IDS) to protect cloud networks from external threats and unauthorized access.

  4. Compliance and Governance: Ensures that organizations meet legal and regulatory requirements, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and others, by controlling how data is stored, processed, and transmitted.

  5. Threat Detection and Prevention: Involves monitoring cloud environments for abnormal activity, using AI and machine learning to detect potential security threats like malware, ransomware, or DDoS attacks.

  6. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity: Cloud providers offer built-in disaster recovery options, which include data backups, replication, and failover mechanisms, ensuring businesses can recover quickly in case of a breach or system failure.

  7. Shared Responsibility Model: In cloud security, providers and customers share responsibility.
