Course Summary
Major public cloud vendors are enhancing their services and improving cloud security, such as stopping distributed denial-of-service attacks. Experts note that cloud attacks are less devastating than on-premises ones, often limited to a single misconfigured service. However, organisations must remain vigilant against security threats, as vendors like Google, AWS, and Microsoft do not fully protect cloud data. Users must understand their shared responsibility and follow cloud security best practices, including configuration management, automated security updates, and improved logging and access management.
Despite advancements in security, breaches still occur. Cloud administrators should regularly test environments and review security audits. Business owners must be cautious with new technologies like AI and machine learning, which expand potential attack surfaces.
Compliance alone does not guarantee security. Organisations must align regulations with a robust cloud governance framework. Successful cloud management relies on proper tool use, automation, and a competent IT staff. Collaboration between IT and business teams is crucial to adapting to a cloud culture and achieving business goals.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify and assess cloud services.
- Audit and adjust security settings.
- Encrypt data.
- Use the Cloud vendor service contracts to ensure their data's confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
- Identify cybersecurity risks and cyber-attacks and how to defend them.
- Optimise Cloud practices.
- Adhere to data regulations and compliance.
This course is designed for any professional who requires a greater understanding of potential cybersecurity breaches, managing data encryption, and legal compliance regarding the Cloud. It would be most beneficial for:
- Technology Engineers, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO)
- Key Application Development and Data Research Personnel
