Cloud Security Threats and Mitigation (5 pages)

 Competency

Describe cloud security architecture.

Scenario

You are the cloud security expert for a finance company. Your company is planning to store Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data on a public cloud medium. Your company will use this PII data to run analytics and then send credit card offers to its customers. It is a federal obligation for financial firms to protect PII data. A public cloud is a safe option but there are still many security threats to consider.

You need to analyze the various security threats and analyze various cloud services that are available to protect your data.

Instructions

Your case study should include the following points:

1. Security threats on the cloud


2. Data encryption on a public cloud


3. Threat detection tools for a public cloud


4. Vulnerability scanning tools for a public cloud


5. Cloud-native security services for a public cloud

Be sure to use a professional tone and check your spelling and grammar.
