Cloud Security
Cloud security encompasses the responsibilities of both service providers and users, with a focus on identity and access management and encryption as foundational practices. Utilizing cloud-native tools aids in monitoring, detection, and compliance, while securing APIs and serverless functions is vital for preventing unauthorized access. Continuous assessment and policy enforcement are essential for ensuring compliance within cloud environments.
