Introduction to Data Management and Security in the Cloud

About this learning activity In this course, you will learn about the importance of cloud data security. You'll learn ways to identify vulnerabilities in cloud data security and describe the essential features of identity and access management (IAM). You'll explore the delivery of databases using the cloud with the database as a service (DBaaS) cloud model. And you'll learn about how to ensure cloud database integrity and security using data governance and data compliance. In the last module, you'll get a chance to put what you've learned into practice by using a simulation to create an IBM Cloudant database and review the settings in the database. What you'll learn After completing this course, you should be able to: Explain why cloud data security is important Identify ways to mitigate different types of vulnerabilities in cloud data security Describe the features of identity and access management (IAM) Explain database as a service (DBaaS) and the benefits that it provides Identify ways cloud databases support data governance and data compliance Create an IBM Cloudant database and review its security settings
