    Study Notes

    Cloud Security Concerns

    • One important aspect that concerns individuals when moving to the cloud is data security.

    Data Security Responsibility

    • The cloud provider is primarily responsible for ensuring data security in cloud environments.

    Cloud Security Controls

    • The aspect of cloud security that focuses on controlling and enforcing policies for end-users accessing different cloud environments is Identity and Access Management (IAM).

    SIEM Definition

    • SIEM stands for Security Information and Event Management in the context of cloud security.

    Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

    • DLP is used in cloud security to detect, prevent, and respond to unauthorized attempts to access, steal, or leak sensitive data.

    Compliance and Governance Risks

    • If cloud providers do not take necessary measures with respect to compliance and governance, they face the risk of fines, penalties, and reputational damage.

    DLP Purpose

    • The purpose of DLP in cloud security is to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration and ensure data integrity.

    Disaster Recovery (DR) Setup

    • An organization should have a DR setup to ensure business continuity in the event of unexpected disruptions or disasters.

    OWASP Focus

    • OWASP focuses on web application security, identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in web applications.

    Data Encryption

    • Data Encryption enhances security in the cloud by protecting data in transit and at rest, ensuring that even if data is intercepted or accessed unauthorized, it will be unreadable.

    Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

    • The main purpose of DAST is to identify vulnerabilities in web applications by simulating real-world attacks.

    Application Security (AppSec)

    • The primary function of AppSec is to ensure the secure development, testing, and deployment of applications.
