About This Course
Cloud infrastructure consists of the physical location of the cloud data centre. Depending on the location of the data centre, there are different risks that are taken by the service provider and different methods used to tackle security issues.
In this course, you’ll learn how to maintain a secure cloud environment using open-source software. Additionally, you’ll learn essential security concepts, such as protecting data in motion and at rest, using encryption so that clients can see only their data.
You’ll examine proper life cycle management of the cloud environment, including patching, encryption, and minimising business impacts.
You’ll also examine system and OS hardening, which can reduce software vulnerability and provide data confidentiality and privacy.
