What is security?

Security encompasses many practices, tools, and techniques to safeguard systems and applications from unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security threats. For example, cloud security focuses on protecting data, applications, and infrastructure within cloud environments, while application security explicitly targets the security of software applications, including their design, development, and deployment. Both disciplines aim to mitigate risks and ensure data and services' confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How and where would you use security?

Implementing cloud and application security requires strategic planning, adherence to best practices, and using appropriate tools and technologies. This involves conducting risk assessments, applying layered security controls, integrating security measures throughout the software development lifecycle, establishing threat detection and response processes, and educating staff on security best practices. By taking a comprehensive approach, organizations can effectively manage and mitigate security risks in their cloud and application environments.
