Cloud adoption has fundamentally changed how organizations secure their data, applications, and infrastructure. Cloud Security 101 (2025 Update) provides a structured, practical foundation for understanding how to secure modern cloud environments.
This updated version builds on the original 2023 release, with refreshed content, improved audio and video, and expanded tactical guidance for security practitioners and leaders.
