Cloud Security

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.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Design and implement secure AWS architectures aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

• Configure and enforce IAM policies, least privilege, and MFA.

• Use AWS-native tools for threat detection, logging, and compliance (e.g., GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config, CloudTrail).

• Apply encryption best practices for data at rest and in transit.

• Automate security checks and remediation using Terraform and Lambda.

• Integrate cloud security into CI/CD pipelines (DevSecOps).

• Align cloud configurations with compliance frameworks like NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and CIS Benchmarks.

• Build real-time alerting and incident response workflows using CloudWatch, EventBridge, and third-party tools.
