Description

This course introduces Cloud Computing security concepts and practice. It starts by providing the essential concepts and principles for cloud landscape and architecture, including design patterns, and practical case studies. Next, this course discusses security approaches for the cloud landscape (i.e., architecture, design patterns, industry standards, regulatory compliance requirements, and management services). Additionally, it presents how to identify and mitigate risks, applying isolation and protection on both physical and logical infrastructures such as network, computers, storage, data protection for OSI layers, end-to-end identity, and access control, monitoring and auditing practices for effective compliance with industry and regulatory mandates. Finally, the course explores security guidelines for cloud computing in International Organization for Standardization (ISO), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA), and Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).
