Developing and Deploying Effective Cloud Cyber Security Best Practices For Your Organization
Protecting your organization from cyber threats is paramount in today's business environment. There are countless ways that your data can be compromised and the industry's best practices are ever-changing to adapt to the latest threats. Increasingly more professionals are working remotely and Cloud technology is what is connecting us all. It is business-critical that our organizations have correct and relevant security settings and procedures. Permissive security and privacy controls for Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, or Google could pose a major security risk to the organization. This course looks at practical approaches to managing the security and privacy settings of today's major Cloud tools. It will give specific and direct advice on best practices for configuration and settings for today's major Cloud platforms to promote better security. Specific attention will be paid to the major Cloud business platforms including, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Zoho. We will review everything from the importance of multi-factor authentication, to user levels/permissions, to methods to quickly identify when a user's account might be compromised. Business professionals will leave the class with specific insight on how they can protect their organization's cloud data.
