Cloud security Jobs
Find specialized roles in Cloud security, a vital field for PHP developers responsible for protecting data, applications, and infrastructure hosted on cloud platforms. In the cloud, security is a shared responsibility; while providers like AWS secure the underlying infrastructure, it is up to the developer to secure the application, data, and configurations they manage.
Securing PHP Applications in the Cloud
A PHP developer with cloud security expertise is tasked with implementing multiple layers of defense. This includes writing and enforcing strict Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies, configuring network security through security groups and network ACLs, and ensuring data is protected at rest and in transit through encryption. You will also be responsible for securely managing application secrets and credentials using services like AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault.
Core Cloud Security Skills
This role requires a proactive, security-first mindset combined with deep technical knowledge. Essential competencies include:
- A strong understanding of network security principles, including firewalls and VPCs.
- Experience with native cloud security tools such as AWS GuardDuty, Security Hub, or Azure Sentinel.
- Knowledge of common compliance frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2.
- Proficiency in secure coding practices for PHP to prevent vulnerabilities like SQL injection and XSS.
