SC Media, Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025
Cloud cybersecurity refers to the measures and practices designed to protect data, applications, and services hosted in cloud environments from threats like unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyberattacks. It encompasses a broad range of strategies including encryption, identity management, access control, and compliance with regulatory standards.
Cloud cybersecurity has evolved significantly since the advent of cloud computing. Initially, cloud services were met with skepticism due to concerns over data security and privacy. Over time, advancements in encryption, secure multi-tenancy, and shared responsibility models have enhanced trust in cloud platforms. Key milestones include the adoption of industry standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and the introduction of cloud-specific cybersecurity frameworks.
