A Cloud Security Architecture Workshop

Explore key concepts for secure cloud architecture design in this 52-minute RSA Conference workshop. Learn about seven critical principles for building secure cloud infrastructure, including designing for failure and elasticity, implementing security at every layer, and managing the cloud "blast radius." Gain practical insights into centralization, standardization, and automation strategies for cloud security. Understand how to apply these concepts to both Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) deployments, with specific examples from AWS and Microsoft Azure. Discover techniques for creating a security feedback loop, exploring storage options, and addressing multi-cloud challenges. By the end of this workshop, develop a practical, repeatable approach to cloud security architecture that can be applied to your organization's unique needs.
