Cloud Security Concepts and Practices

The video discusses cloud security, emphasizing the need to protect cloud-based data, applications, and infrastructure from cyber threats. It explains the shared responsibility model between cloud service providers (CSPs) and customers, highlighting the tools and practices necessary to fill security gaps. Key tools include Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP), Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB), Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). Best practices for securing cloud data include encryption, multi-factor authentication, and regular monitoring.

What is the primary goal of cloud security?

• To increase cloud storage capacity

• To protect cloud-based data and infrastructure from cyber attacks

• To reduce the cost of cloud services

• To enhance the speed of cloud applications

Who is typically responsible for the security of the cloud infrastructure?

• Both the cloud service provider and the customer

• Neither the cloud service provider nor the customer

• The customer

• The cloud service provider

What does CWPP stand for in cloud security?

• Cloud Web Protection Platform
