Cloud security comprises concepts, processes and technical controls to protect data, identities, platforms and workloads in cloud environments. It covers the shared responsibility model, access control, network and configuration hardening, and monitoring. The goal is to ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of applications and services running i…
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What you need to understand to reason about a domain.
Cloud security comprises technical and organizational measures that protect cloud-based data, services, and identities.
It grew from the need to operate distributed infrastructure and shared responsibilities securely. NIST describes public-cloud security and privacy concerns; the approach has no single originator.
Divide responsibility into layers: the provider protects cloud infrastructure, the customer configures data, identities, and access, and both monitor operations and incidents. A bad configuration can undermine every layer.
Provider and customer carry different but connected security duties.
Accounts, roles, and permissions control who may use cloud resources.
Network, storage, and service options must be deliberate and reviewable.
Cloud security supports architecture, migration, and operations. Responsibility boundaries, data location, key management, and continuous control must fit the service model.
