Protecting Data in the cloud

Cloud security requires more than simply putting data online. Organisations need to use proper security controls to protect their information.Some of the solutions discussed in the lecture include encryption, secure authentication, transparency and multi-tenant isolation. Encryption can help protect sensitive information from unauthorised access, while secure authentication helps ensure that only authorised users can access cloud resources.I also learned that cloud providers need to properly separate the data and resources of different customers. This is important because cloud environments can have many users sharing the same infrastructure.As a Cyber Security student, I am beginning to understand that cloud security is a continuous process. Organisations need to identify their risks, rank them, apply suitable measures and continue monitoring their systems.
