About This Course

Many organizations are moving to the cloud, and they need to do so with their eyes wide open. Some organizations and IT administrators may fear the cloud, but we all use cloud services in some form or another. Our organizations want to take advantage of the financial and operational benefits of cloud computing while minimizing the exposure to undue risk.

This presentation covers the topic of cloud security in a down-to-earth and practical way and provides realistic security measures you can put into practice right away.

  • This class will review the current industry standard guidelines for cloud security.
  • Several popular Cloud Service Provider (CSP) security models and security controls will be examined.
  • No cloud security presentation would be complete without a brief introduction to software container security concepts.
  • The workshop will review several examples of cloud security controls that provide virtual firewalling, server/service security, and encryption.
  • The session will also cover a few of the popular cloud security certifications, namely: Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) and (ISC)2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP)
