Cloud Security Best Practices and Compliance Training
Cloud Security Best Practices and Compliance Training is a 2-day course where participants learn the fundamentals of cloud security, including threats and vulnerabilities as well as learn the best practices for securing cloud environments, including data protection and access control.
Cloud security incorporates a rather wide circle of elements including the technologies, controls, processes, and policies which combine to protect an organization’s cloud-based systems, data, and infrastructure.
Cloud security is a sub-domain of computer security and more broadly, information security.
Organizations today consider cloud security an essential requirement with about 25% of organizations confirming a cloud security incident over the past year.
Effective cloud security not only protects data, it also keeps organizations in compliance with increasingly rigid cloud security standards.
Cloud security compliance is the art and science of complying with regulatory standards of cloud usage in accordance with industry guidelines and local, national, and international laws.
Once a company is in the cloud, it should be concerned with how the cloud provider will help the company remain in compliance with the laws, such as Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or HIPAA in the U.S.
Cybersecurity professionals contend that the discussion about cloud security compliance should start from the very beginning rather than after the cloud service is established.
Businesses and their lawyers need to address what laws must be followed. Organizations must also be clear about the consequences of noncompliance. Once the laws are identified, it is important to ask which security controls need to be in place to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
Regulations such as EU GDPR require considerable security regarding personal information. EU GDPR also has very specific constraints on where data covered by the regulation can be processed and stored.
