Description
In this course we walk through all of the critical concepts within the Cloud Data Security domain. This domain is 20% of the test as of August 2022. I will guide you through all of the concepts that you need to know and advise you on the level of knowledge that you need to get comfortable with. There are over three and a half hours of video content plus course notes based on information from my book: Cloud Guardians. We will explore the data lifecycle. It is important to know the lifecycle and the security controls that can be added to each phase. In order to really understand that it is good to also take a look at data. How to we organize data? It is good to understand the basic differences of structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. I love talking about encryption and we will explore the basics of symmetric, asymmetric and hashing. It is just the basics as the primary focus here is the key. It is essential to protect the secret key, so storage locations must be explored. There is also an exploration of masking, tokenization and obfuscation. Each serves a very particular purpose when protecting information. We finish with discussion about maturity models and data rights management/information rights management and maturity models.
