Cloud Security Assessment and Auditing
Companies are increasingly opting to migrate its IT infrastructure and services onto Cloud, driven by obvious reasons - cost effectiveness and scalability. However, many are unaware of the "shared security responsibilties" with Cloud Service Provider (CSP) and assume that security responsibilities will be the function of the CSP. Cloud security breaches are on the rise and most can be attributed to 'customer's fault'. It is important for companies to understand the various Cloud deployment models, carefully assess and evaluate the inherent risks for each, and put in place measures and safeguards to ensure cloud security risks are managed effectively.
Objectives
The course aims to provide participants a better understanding of the Cloud architecture and deployment models, benefits of each, and the security related risks companies will need to be aware of as they move their services onto Cloud platform.

- Recognise the key components and unique characteristics of Cloud
- Recognise the business value of using Cloud
- Identify the security and non-security risks arising from use of Cloud
