1. Welcome to module 2

Hey there! Ready to explore security principles in the cloud? There are so many exciting things in store, and I can’t wait to go on this journey with you. Together, we’ll examine the different layers of security, and explore how each layer applies to the cloud. We’ll also go over different security measures used in cloud environments. First, we’ll explore security controls used in cloud computing. Then, we’ll discuss how the defense-in-depth approach applies to securing cloud resources. Next, we’ll go over security responsibilities you’ll share with cloud service providers, CSPs. You’ll also learn about the shared responsibility and shared fate models, and the considerations of sharing security with a CSP. Then, you’ll build on shared responsibility concepts by learning about different cloud service models. You’ll also review how infrastructure, platform, and software as a service offer varying degrees of security responsibilities. After that, you’ll examine how identity and access management helps you maintain control over your resources. You’ll also be introduced to the principle of least privilege and separation of duties in identity and access management. Finally, we’ll discuss networking in the cloud. This includes software-defined networking, virtual private clouds, and load balancing. You’re about to learn some really cool ways to secure cloud environments using security principles. I’m excited to go on this adventure with you. When you’re ready, let’s get started.
