Cloud Computing Security & Best Practices 🔐📚

Intermediate

Security remains critical in cloud environments:

  • Identity and Access Management (IAM): Control user permissions.
  • Data Encryption: Encrypt data at rest and transit.
  • Network Security: Use firewalls, VPNs, and private links.
  • Compliance and Auditing: Regularly review security policies.
  • Shared Responsibility Model: Cloud providers secure infrastructure, but customers must secure applications and data.

Best Practices:

  • Regularly update and patch systems.
  • Use multi-factor authentication.
  • Employ security groups and network segmentation.
  • Conduct vulnerability assessments.

Real-world Tip: Use AWS CloudTrail or Azure Security Center for continuous security monitoring.

Security should be integrated into every phase of cloud deployment for resilient and trustworthy systems.
