Secure Cloud Applications, Users, and Related Technologies from Pluralsight

The distributed nature of the cloud presents a challenge for protecting assets. This course will teach you the frameworks for securing cloud applications, users, and other assets.

In the next year and beyond, many companies plan to move almost all of their applications to the cloud, while some larger corporations have already moved one hundred percent of their applications to the cloud! Protecting valuable assets within the distributed nature of the cloud then presents a challenge. In this course, Secure Cloud Applications, Users, and Related Technologies, you’ll learn to apply frameworks for securing cloud applications, users, and other assets. First, you’ll explore application security in the cloud. Next, you’ll discover how to employ IAM tools to manage least privilege access for users. Finally, you’ll learn how to categorize and protect related technologies. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Secure Cloud Applications, Users, and Related Technologies needed to protect your distributed cloud assets.

O'Reilly Learning did a survey in 2020 and found that 25% of their respondents said that their companies plan to move all of their applications to a cloud context in the next year. This includes 17% of respondents from large organizations over 10,000 employees that have already moved 100% of their applications to the cloud.
