About Cloud Security

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The resources here look at security in cloud computing from several angles. Many follow vendor certifications, especially AWS and Microsoft Azure. Others follow vendor-neutral material, such as the Cloud Security Alliance and its control domains. Formats are mixed, so you can read a map, drill a deck and then test yourself.

Where to start

If cloud ideas are new, begin with the AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials quiz. It asks why services are reachable through an API and when Spot instances suit a job. Then look at the AWS Security Services flashcards, which list tools such as AWS Artifact, AWS Secrets Manager, AWS STS, Amazon Cognito and AWS Organizations. The AWS: ELB deck covers load balancers across Availability Zones.

Frameworks, compliance and containers

For governance, open the CCMv3.0.1 mind map. Its branches include Application & Interface Security, Audit Assurance & Compliance, Business Continuity Management & Operational Resilience and Change Control & Configuration Management. The Kubernetes Security map covers patch management, private registries, vulnerability scanning, trusted images and network logging. The maps on legal, compliance and auditing for everything as a service suit a CCSP-style review.

Using quizzes and maps together

  1. Read a mind map to see the whole topic.
  2. Take a quiz on the same theme, such as CEHv9 Chapter 8 or Cloud U Section 5.
  3. Note what you missed and go back to the matching map or deck.
  4. Repeat with a longer set, such as the chapter quizzes on security in cloud computing or the Exam Prophet sets.

Identity and access management has its own quizzes, notes and maps, which helps if that area keeps catching you out.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Network and Infrastructure Security strand of Cybersecurity. Everything was made by GoConqr users, so styles vary. Choose one map or quiz that matches your exam, work through it, and see what you still need to review.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

If you are new to the cloud, try the AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials quiz, then the AWS Security Services flashcards. If you are working on governance, start with the CCMv3.0.1 mind map. Either route gives you a quick sense of what you already know.

What do the mind maps cover?

They range widely. Some cover control domains such as audit, compliance and change control. Others cover Kubernetes security, identity and access management, denial-of-service attacks, Azure AZ500 and legal, compliance and auditing for everything as a service. There are over 40 maps to browse.

Which exams do these resources relate to?

The listed resources mention CCSP, CEH, SC-900 and several AWS certifications, including Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect. They suit university students and professional candidates preparing for these, though each resource was written by a user, so check it matches your syllabus.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking details against your official course material.

Can I save my quiz scores or make my own sets?

A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. That is handy if you want to turn a weak area, such as IAM, into a short deck of your own.

What if I cannot find my topic?

Try a related resource first. Identity, compliance, containers and networking each have several maps, decks and quizzes here. If your topic is still missing, you can build your own mind map or flashcards and keep them for revision.
