Cloud Security

About Course
This hands-on course provides a comprehensive dive into securing cloud environments on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Designed for engineers, security professionals, and cloud practitioners, the course covers everything from foundational AWS security principles to advanced threat detection, compliance automation, and real-world incident response strategies.
You’ll gain practical skills in identity and access management (IAM), network security, encryption, logging, monitoring, and cloud-native security services such as AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config, CloudTrail, Macie, and Inspector. The course also explores modern practices like Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security using Terraform and DevSecOps pipeline integration.
Whether you’re looking to implement security guardrails, pass an audit, or respond to live cloud threats, this course will equip you with the tools and techniques to build and maintain a secure AWS environment.
