Cloud Security ISO: Ensuring Safety in the Digital Sky
Introduction
In today’s digital age, where cloud computing has become the backbone of business operations, ensuring the security of cloud environments is paramount. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed several standards to guide organizations in implementing robust cloud security measures. Among these, the ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018 standards stand out, providing comprehensive frameworks for cloud security and privacy. This blog delves into the intricacies of these ISO standards, their importance, and how they help organizations secure their cloud infrastructure.
Understanding Cloud Security
Cloud security refers to a set of policies, technologies, applications, and controls used to protect virtualized IP, data, applications, services, and the associated infrastructure of cloud computing. As businesses increasingly migrate to the cloud, security concerns become more pronounced. Threats such as data breaches, loss of sensitive information, and service disruptions can have severe consequences. Hence, implementing a robust cloud security framework is essential for mitigating these risks.
