As the use of cloud computing grows constantly, so does the need to ensure cloud security. Data breaches and other forms of attacks happen mainly as a result of poor security practices, complicated controls, and misconfigurations. This makes cloud security essential to the effective operation of cloud services.
Organisations adopting cloud technology must ensure that the level of security of their cloud systems meets their requirements and complies with the applicable laws and regulations.
This training course is designed to help participants acquire the knowledge and skills needed to support an organisation with this skill. It helps you with effectively planning, implementing, managing, monitoring, and maintaining a cloud security program based on ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018. Training includes the following:
Cloud computing concepts and principles;
Cloud computing security risk management;
Cloud-specific controls;
Cloud security incident management; and
Cloud security testing.
