Cloud Security

Definition

Cloud security involves protecting data, applications, and infrastructure hosted within cloud computing environments. This domain encompasses policies, technologies, and controls designed to secure cloud-based resources from unauthorized access, data breaches, and service disruptions. It addresses shared responsibility models where both the cloud provider and the user hold obligations for data protection. Robust cloud security measures are vital for maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital assets and operational data.
