Security Engineering on AWS

Cloud security is a big concern for customers looking to adopt the cloud. There has been a steady increase in cyber attacks and data breaches are top concerns for security teams. This course addresses these concerns by teaching you how to interact and build with AWS cloud in a very secure way. You will learn about managing roles and identities, provisioning accounts and monitoring the API activities for any anomalies.

Moreover, you will learn to protect the stored data in the AWS cloud together with generating, collecting, and monitoring logs to help identify security related incidents. The course is delivered with a mix of presentations, hands-on labs and group exercises. After completion, you will be able to attempt the AWS Certified Security – Speciality certification.

The course is best suited for Security engineers, Security architects, Cloud Architects and cloud operators. We recommend that you should have completed the AWS Security Essentials and the Architecting on AWS courses. Along with this, we also recommend that you should have working knowledge of IT security practices and infrastructure concepts.
