Cloud security fundamentals

Understand how security works in the cloud.

📖 Key ideas

Shared responsibility: provider secures the cloud; customers secure what they put in it.
IaaS gives customers more responsibility than SaaS.
Top risks: misconfiguration, weak identities, exposed data, insecure APIs.
Security pillars: identity, network, data, monitoring, governance.
Automate security with policies and infrastructure as code.

💡 Real-life example: Cloud security is renting a secure apartment: the building has guards, but you must lock your own door.
