Cloudcast Basics

SHOW: Season 1, Show 4

OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast,  Cloudcast Basics.  

• What does security mean in the cloud? Data Protection (Encryption), Key Management, Firewalls, Intrusion Detection, IAM (Authentication, SSO, etc.), Monitoring/Threat-Detection
• How is security allocated? “Defense-in-Depth”, many layers of protecting the network, protecting data, protecting APIs, preventing service denials, managing users/accounts
• How was security allocated before cloud computing? 
• What does the cloud computing provider do with a security offering (responsibilities vs. customer responsibilities? Lots of variety, depending on the service
• Why are there so many variations of security? (the entire stack needs to be secured, from infrastructure to applications to user interactions)
• Does it matter where the security is located? How do clouds organize the security (availability zones, regions, etc.)?
• How much does security cost in the cloud? What are the various ways you can buy security? Native services vs. 3rd-party services.

Examples:

• AWS - https://aws.amazon.com/products/security/
• Azure - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/product-categories/security/
