Cloud Security
Hands-on securing of cloud-specific resources: IAM policy, workload security, and misconfiguration detection.
Subject: Security · Roles: Cloud Security Engineer
Concepts
Cloud IAM Policy Design
Writing least-privilege access policies for cloud resources, and avoiding the common over-permissioning failure modes.
Container & Workload Security
Securing what runs inside containers and the runtime environment around them — images, runtime behavior, and isolation.
Cloud-Native Network Security
Security groups, network ACLs, and private networking that control traffic flow within a cloud environment.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
Continuously scanning cloud environments for misconfigurations before they're exploited.
Secrets Management in the Cloud
Using cloud-native secrets services so credentials are never hardcoded, with automatic rotation.
The Shared Responsibility Model
What the cloud provider secures versus what the customer is responsible for — and why most cloud breaches fall on the customer's side.
