Cloud Security Cybersecurity — and Why That Matters

Cloud Security vs. Cybersecurity

As organizations scale in the cloud, one truth becomes rather obvious: security isn't one-size-fits-all.

🔐 Cybersecurity: Protection of networks, systems, endpoints, and data in the entire digital terrain.

☁️ Cloud Security: protection of cloud platforms, identities, configurations, workloads, APIs, and access paths.

Speed and flexibility come with the cloud, but they also introduce a new class of risk. A single misconfiguration, an exposed API, or a weak IAM policy can create a critical vulnerability overnight.

You can't strengthen cybersecurity without mastering cloud security.
They're connected-but not interchangeable.
