NETV480 addresses the theory and best practice application of security in cloud computing. Cloud computing has become ubiquitous in the information technology and service provisioning sectors, allowing for on-demand, highly elastic, and seemingly infinitely scalable compute and storage capabilities, and supports the secure delivery of business-critical enterprise applications and services. Given the growing importance of cloud delivered services and their very distributed nature, it is imperative that they be afforded proper security. This course will review cloud concepts, architecture, and design, then proceed to addressing cloud data security, cloud platform and infrastructure security, cloud application security, cloud security operations, cloud risk management and compliance management. This course leverages cloud computing security guidelines set forth by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).
