In this 10-video course, you will learn about securing cloud data-at-rest and data-in-transit by using various cryptographic mechanisms and security controls offered by the cloud service provider. To begin, you will take a look at cryptographic mechanisms, and then move on to common cryptography protocols. In the next tutorial, you will compare client-side encryption (CSE) and server-side encryption (SSE), and then examine file and database security. You will explore object storage security, examples of which would be Google Cloud Storage and Amazon's S3, before taking a look at using key management services from the cloud service provider. Observe how to define public key infrastructure (PKI), which is based on asymmetric key cryptosystems. In the final tutorial in this course, you will be examining hardware security modules, or HSM. A module is a device or a modular component or a piece of hardware that protects and manages digital keys, which can be session keys, private keys, part of a PKI. The concluding exercise entails describing cloud data security.
