☁️ What is Cloud Security in Cybersecurity?
As companies shift their data from local servers to the cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), securing these environments becomes paramount. Cloud Security is the complete set of policies, controls, and technologies designed to protect cloud-based assets.
Key pillars of cloud defense:
🤝 Shared Responsibility Model: The provider secures of the cloud (hardware/infrastructure), while the user secures in the cloud (data/configurations).
⚙️ Avoiding Misconfigurations: Fixing public data leaks and loose permissions before attackers exploit them.
🔐 Encryption & MFA: Using military-grade encryption and Multi-Factor Authentication to protect digital assets.
Golden Rule: Moving to the cloud outsources infrastructure management, but it never outsources security responsibility.
