Cloud Security protects data, applications, and infrastructure running in the cloud. It covers the shared-responsibility model, posture management, and the controls that keep IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments safe.

Why Cloud Security matters

Owns the shared model

Knowing what the provider secures, and what you do, closes the most common cloud gaps.

Tames misconfiguration

CSPM catches the exposed buckets and over-permissive roles behind most cloud breaches.

Scales protection

Cloud-native controls protect workloads and identities as fast as they spin up.

What you'll practice

Quizzes and spaced repetition keep these sharp, reinforcement not a replacement for deep study.

  • Recall who owns what in the shared-responsibility model
  • Recognize IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS boundaries
