Advanced Cloud Security Practitioner (Cloud Security Alliance)

Students should be extremely comfortable connecting to and working with remote Linux systems via SSH and in navigating the Amazon Web Services console without step-by-step screenshots. Students will need basic Python skills to complete all of the automation labs but code snippets will be provided. All students should complete the pre-class assessment lab at and bring their completion token to class. Students unable to keep up with the rapid pace of this training will be expected to complete the labs on their own time outside of class.** Real-world cloud security is most definitely not business as usual. The fundamental abstraction and automation used to build cloud platforms upends much of how we implement security. The same principles may apply, but *how* they apply is dramatically different, especially at enterprise scale. This highly technical course, now endorsed as an official training and certificate program from the Cloud Security Alliance, expands the basics of our Cloud Security Hands on Training and delves deep into practical cloud security and applied DevSecOps for enterprise-scale cloud deployments. It focuses completely on Infrastructure and Platform as a Service, and will not cover Software as a Service. The training is technical and **will not cover policies, risk, or governance issues** except as they come up in passing. We begin on day one with an in-depth discussion of cloud platform technologies; giving you a look into how the services are built and managed, and the security implications. We will then quickly start building out a landing zone in Amazon Web Services and a multi-account sandbox environment and deploying security controls.
