Today most modern tech companies are cloud-native (built on the cloud from day 1) and many businesses with legacy or on-premise infrastructure are embracing cloud computing technology for its efficiency and scalability.

In this lecture, we will discuss:
1. The concept of shared responsibility model for Cloud
2. Key areas of concern (ex. Data Protection, Identity and Access Management, Compliance & Regulatory challenges, etc)
3. Misconfiguration exploits in cloud environments
4. Security Design for cloud environments

Attendees will gain solid high-level grasp on cloud security principles, an understanding of current challenges faced by the industry, and knowledge of emerging trends that will shape the future of secure cloud computing.
