Abstract
Cloud computing has revolutionized IT infrastructure deployment and management, but it also presents security and resilience challenges. The study delves into the principles and strategies of cloud security to safeguard cloud environments and guarantee business continuity. It explains the concepts of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS), their benefits and challenges, and the complex web of security principles within the cloud, including the shared responsibility model, best practices, and identity and access management. The guide explores cloud threats, focusing on common threats and emerging trends. It covers data security, network security measures, and security monitoring. It emphasizes integrating security into DevOps, securing CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code (IaC) security. It covers disaster recovery, business continuity, cloud backup strategies, high availability, and cloud-based solutions, enabling organizations to effectively manage cloud security and resilience.
