Cloud Security

Definition of Cloud Security as it relates to Technology, Network Security, Cyber Security

Cloud Security encompasses the measures and controls implemented to protect cloud-based systems, applications, and data from cyber threats. It involves safeguarding infrastructure, data, and identities in a cloud environment against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. The focus is on securing virtualized IP, assets, applications, and services in the cloud. This includes securing cloud-based disaster recovery, data backups, and ensuring business continuity. It also involves managing risks associated with cloud computing such as data loss, data breaches, data leakage, account hijacking, insider threats, insecure APIs, and denial of service attacks. Cloud security requires a shared responsibility model between the cloud provider and the user to ensure effective protection.
