Cloud Security: professional context and preparation

What this objective covers

Cloud security covers shared responsibility, identity, data protection, network controls, workload security, logging, resilience, governance, and provider-specific services.

• Shared responsibility
• Identity and access
• Data protection
• Network and workload controls
• Monitoring, resilience, and governance

Why it matters

Cloud environments change control ownership and increase the importance of identity, automation, configuration, and service design. Candidates must distinguish provider responsibilities from customer responsibilities.

How to prepare

Study the shared-responsibility model, build small cloud labs, review identity and logging configurations, and practice selecting controls based on data, workload, threat, and compliance requirements.
