Private Cloud Security

Definitions

1. The protection of cloud-like infrastructure operated for a single organization, whether on-premises or in a dedicated hosted environment. Private cloud security covers identity, hypervisors, management planes, workloads, segmentation, and the operational controls needed when the provider is not handling everything for you.

   In plain English: Security for a cloud environment dedicated to one organization.

   Example: "Private cloud security was harder than expected because the team had to secure both the orchestration layer and the physical virtualization hosts."
