Cloud Security

Cloud Security is the set of security protocols, methodologies and technologies that protect the availability of cloud resources and the integrity of data stored in a cloud computing environment.

Economy of scale and flexibility are the most important aspects of cloud computing even from a security standpoint, since cloud-based defenses can be more robust, scalable and cost-effective. However, all the data and resources available at a single point present a very attractive target for unauthorized access.

Since cloud security requires a multi-layered defense which includes hardening, access control and encryption into the cloud / virtualization layer, it is essential to have a firm understanding of security and compliance requirements prior to moving to the cloud.

The objective of the workshop is to educate participants how to do an informed assessment of the security risks and benefits of using cloud computing and providing security guidance for potential and existing users of cloud computing.

This workshop covers the essential concepts of cloud security and ensures that the candidate has the fundamental knowledge and skills required to manage cloud computing in a secure environment.

Upon successful completion of this workshop, the participants will be able to:

• understand the cloud computing architectural framework
• understand cloud computing security challenges
• implement cloud computing security controls

This workshop is especially useful for those responsible for managing information security within the organization.
