Introduction

As more organizations move data and infrastructure to the cloud, security is becoming a major priority. Operations and development teams are finding new uses for cloud services, and executives are eager to save money and gain new capabilities and operational efficiency by using these services. But will information security prove to be an Achilles’ heel? Many cloud providers do not provide detailed control information about their internal environments, and quite a few common security controls used internally may not translate directly to the public cloud.

SEC545: Cloud Security Architecture and Operations will tackle these issues one by one. We’ll start with a brief introduction to cloud security fundamentals, then cover the critical concepts of cloud policy and governance for security professionals. For the rest of day one and all of day two, we’ll move into technical security principles and controls for all major cloud types (SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS). We’ll learn about the Cloud Security Alliance framework for cloud control areas, then into assessing risk for cloud services, looking specifically at technical areas that need to be addressed.
