1. The security ecosystem

Ready to learn about your future coworkers? Cloud security professionals have a lot of responsibility, but they don’t do everything alone. In this video, we’ll explore the wider cloud cybersecurity ecosystem, and discuss some of the potential teammates you may work closely with as a cloud security professional. Let’s get started. What is the cloud cybersecurity ecosystem? The cloud cybersecurity ecosystem includes the network of people, processes, and technologies that work together to keep the cloud secure. The cybersecurity ecosystem includes everyone, from large organizations to individual users. If you end up in a cloud security analyst role, you’ll most likely be a part of your organization’s Security Operations Center, or SOC, which detects and responds to cybersecurity incidents affecting the organization. Some of the professionals you may work with on a cloud security team include cloud security architects and cloud security engineers. You may also work with compliance team members. Let’s learn more about each of those roles. A cloud security architect is a professional who designs and develops security controls and measures within an organization’s cloud infrastructure. Cloud security architects develop these controls to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their organization’s information. They also consider the organization’s specific goals and security requirements. A cloud security engineer is a professional who implements and manages secure cloud workloads and infrastructure. Cloud security engineers also configure access to cloud resources, and put security controls in place to protect data and workloads. They support compliance with security best practices, regulations, and standards, and manage operations within the cloud environment. The compliance team is a team within an organization that ensures processes act in accordance with laws, regulations, and standards. Depending on the industry and location, one or more laws apply to most organizations storing customer data in the cloud. Security teams also work with compliance departments to make sure cloud assets align with legal requirements. In this video, you learned more about the cloud cybersecurity ecosystem, and some of the professionals you may be working with. Working in such a vast space means collaborating and communicating with others to achieve success, which can be a very rewarding process.
