Cloud security is an evolving sub-domain of computer security, network security, and, more broadly, information security. It refers to a broad set of technologies deployed to protect data, applications, and the associated infrastructure of cloud computing.

This course provides a practical survey of both the principles and practice of cloud security. The emphasis of this course is on the underlying principles and techniques of cloud security with examples of how they are applied in practice.
