Object Storage Security

Definitions

1. The protection of object storage systems such as S3-compatible buckets through access policy, encryption, logging, lifecycle controls, and exposure management. Object storage security failures are common because a single misconfiguration can expose large volumes of sensitive data publicly.

   In plain English: Security for cloud-style storage systems that hold files as objects in buckets or containers.

   Example: "The review focused on object storage security after a backup bucket was found readable from the internet."
