Cloud Security Essentials
1
Understand the Shared Responsibility Model: your cloud provider secures infrastructure, you secure your data and access
2
Never leave storage buckets or databases publicly accessible without explicit business need
3
Implement least-privilege IAM policies and regularly audit permissions
4
Enable multi-factor authentication for all cloud accounts and services
5
Use cloud-native security tools like Security Groups, encryption at rest, and logging services
