Description
Description:
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis led to a global lockdown that changed how we live and work. The contagion of COVID-19 created an increased need for remote work. Companies of all sizes are adopting cloud-based solutions and embracing online productivity and collaboration services. Cloud migration is a business platform strategy with many deciding factors. Thus, before making cloud computing an integral part of the technology infrastructure, one should recognize the potential benefits and risks.
This course is divided into three parts. Part I addresses concepts of cloud computing in simple terms, its features, and types of deployment. It covers the benefits of cloud computing as well as the most relevant legal issues involved in cloud environments. Part II discusses how each service model satisfies a unique set of business requirements and explores the advantages and disadvantages of each model. It also includes recommendations for mitigating the risks of these models. Part III explains cloud security risks, threats, and vulnerabilities. It also identifies security standards and frameworks to help both providers and customers, providing security baselines, validations, and certifications.
