Introduction to Information Security within Cloud Computing

Course Overview

Learners can learn the fundamentals of information security within cloud computing, including the definition of cloud computing, deployment and service models, and how to use a matrix to review the controls enacted by a cloud provider. They will gain an understanding of the importance of security protocols and data protection, as well as the risks associated with cloud security and cyber security. They will also learn how to identify and select secure cloud services based on business requirements, and how to use risk management to ensure the security of their cloud services.

[Applications]
Upon completion of this course, learners are encouraged to apply their knowledge by selecting secure cloud services that meet their business requirements. They should also use the matrix to review the controls enacted by a cloud provider to ensure that the services they select are secure. Additionally, learners should continue to stay up-to-date on the latest cloud computing security trends and best practices.
