Cloud Data Security

This course gives learners an opportunity to explore data security in the cloud. In this course, learners will: * Dive into the data services offered by cloud providers and compare their security features. * Analyze a data breach and trace it back to the vulnerability that made it possible. * Learn about database injection and aggregation attacks. * Follow the life cycle of a data item and its relationship to privacy and integrity. * Associate modern privacy requirements with US and European laws.

• Organizing and Protecting Data
• We organize our data into databases and structures to optimize our processing efforts. Data organization also impacts how we protect our data.
• SQL and Data Breaches
• Many systems rely on the Structured Query Language, and this has yielded some notorious security problems.
• What Vendors Provide
• Each cloud vendor offers a variety of data storage and structuring services. While each vendor has their unique jargon, most services fall into well-known categories. We will examine these categories and use them to review could provider offerings.
• Data Privacy and the Cloud
• Privacy regulations give individuals some control over data collected about them by organizations. International trade makes it important to fulfill privacy expectations of other countries and regions.
