Cloud Security Administration: Hardened Cloud Security

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. An important concept in cloud security is system and OS hardening, which can aid in reducing software vulnerability and provide data confidentiality and privacy. Hardening protects against exploitation of weaknesses in software, which could be applications, operating systems, or firmware. Vulnerability assessments and using penetration testing to discover issues in code or software can be used to protect the software. In this course, you’ll learn about hardening, why it's important to decrease or eliminate security vulnerabilities, and best practices for software and hardware protection.
