Operational Security

Practices to help establish a scalable process for improving operational security in cloud-based infrastructure.

Operational Security

As more and more businesses move to the cloud, it’s essential to ensure our services are more resilient to attack by decreasing the amount of time needed to prevent, detect, contain, and respond to real and potential cybersecurity threats, thereby increasing the security of services for customers. Effective operational security spans many domains—including physical security, staffing controls, asset management, and others—which are documented in numerous standards and frameworks. Operational Security outlines security engineering practices that organizations should adopt and is a framework used to improve core aspects of operational security of online services.
