Cloud Security and Compliance
Description
Comprehensive coverage of cloud security frameworks, identity and access management, compliance requirements, and security best practices for cloud environments.
Learning Objectives
Learners will master cloud security principles, implement identity and access management solutions, understand compliance frameworks, and apply security best practices to protect cloud infrastructure and applications. They will be able to design secure cloud architectures and respond to security incidents.
Topics (8)
Virtual firewalls, security groups, network ACLs, VPN configurations, network segmentation, DDoS protection, and network monitoring solutions for cloud infrastructures.
Foundation of cloud security including CIA triad, shared responsibility model across different service types, security boundaries, and risk assessment frameworks.
