Cloud Security Controls

Cloud security controls refer to measures and strategies implemented to ensure the security of data and resources in cloud computing environments.

Key Cloud Security Controls:

• Identity and Access Management (IAM): Control user access and permissions.
• Encryption: Protect data through encryption both at rest and in transit.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Require multiple forms of verification for access.
• Firewalls: Implement network firewalls to filter traffic.
• Intrusion Detection and Prevention: Monitor and prevent unauthorized activities.
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Prevent sensitive data leakage.
• Logging and Monitoring: Monitor activities and events for security incidents.
• Vulnerability Management: Regularly scan and patch vulnerabilities.
• Security Auditing: Conduct regular audits to ensure compliance.
• Incident Response: Develop a plan to respond to security incidents.
• Data Backups: Regularly backup data to prevent loss.
• Provider Collaboration: Understand shared security responsibilities with cloud providers.
