Description: Security controls are safeguards or countermeasures designed to prevent, detect, or minimize security risks in various technological environments. These controls are fundamental to protecting the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information and systems. Security controls may include user authentication, access permissions, and software updates across different systems. In cloud security posture management, policies and tools are implemented to ensure that data and applications in the cloud are protected against threats. Web application security focuses on protecting applications from attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). Penetration testing involves simulating attacks to identify vulnerabilities in systems. The Zero Trust approach in cloud environments means that no entity, whether internal or external, is trusted without verifying its identity. Cloud compliance refers to adhering to security regulations and standards. Cybersecurity, in general, encompasses all practices and technologies that protect information systems. In summary, security controls are essential for safeguarding technological infrastructure and sensitive data against an ever-evolving threat landscape.
