Secure Cloud Environments

Securing cloud environments is crucial in today's evolving threat landscape. Learn how to implement essential cloud security measures including IAM, encryption, secrets management, data loss prevention, and network security best practices.
Organizations are increasingly adopting cloud services, but securing cloud environments remains a major challenge due to evolving cyber threats, compliance requirements, and complex security configurations. In this course, Secure Cloud Environments, you’ll learn to implement essential security measures to protect cloud infrastructure, applications, and data using AWS security tools and best practices. First, you’ll explore identity and access management (IAM) fundamentals, including how to configure users, groups, roles, and policies to enforce least-privilege access controls. Next, you’ll discover secrets management, encryption techniques, and data loss prevention (DLP) to safeguard sensitive data and credentials. Finally, you’ll learn how to secure network boundaries using virtual private cloud (VPC), firewalls, security groups, and AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) to prevent unauthorized access. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of cloud security best practices needed to effectively secure cloud environments, mitigate risks, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
