Episode 65 — Encryption Practices Across Cloud Environments

In this episode, we explore encryption practices across multiple layers of a cloud environment. We explain how to secure operating systems with full disk encryption, protect applications with encrypted communications, safeguard storage through encryption at rest, and secure APIs with TLS or other cryptographic protocols. Filesystem encryption is also discussed for granular data protection within virtual machines or containers.


We also cover key management considerations, performance impacts, and compliance requirements that influence encryption choices. On the Cloud+ exam, you’ll encounter scenarios requiring you to match the right encryption method to specific threats or infrastructure components.
