Cloud security is more critical than ever. Learn the best practices for developing, deploying, and managing secure applications.
Security in the cloud is a shared responsibility. Building secure applications requires a 'security-first' mindset from the design phase. Best practices include implementing robust Identity and Access Management (IAM), encrypting data both at rest and in transit, regularly scanning for vulnerabilities, and adopting a DevSecOps culture where security is integrated into the CI/CD pipeline.
As organizations move more of their critical infrastructure to the cloud, attackers are targeting misconfigurations and weak credentials. Organizations must go beyond perimeter security and implement 'Zero Trust' architectures.
