Cloud Security Fundamentals

While Cloud adoption of business productivity applications like Office 365 and AWS has accelerated, so too has the risk factor tied to these types of applications – as they pose an attack vector for bad actors. Securely configuring your cloud environment is the first thing you should do when deploying to the cloud, but it’s not the last. Continuous monitoring of your cloud infrastructure for security events is just as critical, but it does come with its own challenges. Sean Cassidy, CTO of DefenseStorm, will discuss what to monitor and best practices for securing the cloud in the fintech space.
