After reading chapter 13 and 14, you’re ready to participate in the next discussion.
In your textbook, it discusses issues around cloud provider threats (p.249). Given the increased use of public cloud, threats will have increase as well.
Please select one of the following Cloud Providers for this discussion: Amazon (AWS), Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure.
Please answer the following questions in paragraph form only:
- Name at least 2 potential threats related to using the cloud provider you selected above and how this can affect customers.
- Identify a recent breach or security threat from a customer or organization from the cloud provider you selected above. How was it a threat and what was the outcome?
You must do the following:
1) Create a new thread. As indicated above, please answer the following questions above. You must use a minimum of three unique references for your initial posts that are preferably from scholarly sources other than your textbook. Also, please cite all references and use proper APA formatting.
2) Select AT LEAST 2 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread of your classmates. Feel free to agree or disagree (provides reason why it may still be effective), but please keep it professional and provide support for your stance as opposed to just verbal statements.
ALL original posts and responses to other students must be substantive. (I’m looking for more than just “I agree.”)
Initial posts are due by Thursday, August 8th (20% penalty if submitted late)
Responses to other students are due by Sunday, August 11th (no late submissions will be accepted or graded for responses to other students pass the due date)
Please ask questions if you need assistance on this and please do wait until the last minute for clarification.
