# Cloud Security

Skill · Cybersecurity

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/cloud-security

Cloud security encompasses the policies, technologies, and controls used to protect data, applications, and infrastructure hosted in cloud environments from threats like breaches, unauthorized access, and data loss. It includes practices such as identity and access management, encryption, network security, and compliance monitoring, often implemented through shared responsibility models between cloud providers and customers. Security professionals and cloud engineers rely on tools like AWS IAM, Azure Security Center, or third-party solutions to safeguard cloud workloads.
