Introduction to Cloud Security

Introduction to Cloud Security helps learners understand the essential security concepts needed before working with cloud-based systems and services. The course begins with cloud service models, deployment models, and the shared responsibility approach, then introduces key areas such as identity and access control, data protection, monitoring, assessments, and common cloud security tools. Learners explore how security responsibilities are divided between cloud providers and customers, and why cloud environments require careful configuration, governance, visibility, and ongoing review. The course also helps learners understand how misconfigurations, weak access controls, and limited monitoring can increase risk in cloud environments. By providing a practical entry point into cloud security, this course helps learners understand how modern organizations protect workloads, user accounts, data, and services across cloud platforms.
