What Makes a Security Plan?

      Hello, and welcome back to my blog. This week, I would like to quickly discuss the levels that go into making a security plan. These types of plans are an important tool for IT departments and Cybersecurity Administrators to design a plan that will help protect or slow down an attack on the network.     Of course, security plans can vary from company to company; however, their purpose remains the same, with threats looming every day.

These services will have different features than your regular cloud services.        Whether it be for personal use or business, cloud services can vary on what features are available. Let us look at the different types of cloud models and how they are used.        In total, there are four types of cloud models: Public, Private, Community, and
