Operations Security

In the last decade, the nature and complexity of security attacks have increased tremendously. From simple attacks, which focused on hacking exposed web pages, we have evolved to stealthy attacks, which focus on the hacker staying hidden for years on end inside the victim’s network with the sole purpose of stealing data.

This lesson provides you with an overview of operations security and how you can use it to mitigate the risks facing cloud-based infrastructure.
