What makes this course different

💎 Production quality: We’ve been developing cloud and security training material for over 7 years and have taught hundreds of thousands of IT professionals all the way from individuals to Fortune 500 companies. Our production quality is top-notch and not only reflects expert experience but focuses on building practical skills with interactive diagrams, realistic lab scenarios, and other interactive elements.

🛠️ Interactive Diagrams: Concepts can be really boring to learn, especially when it’s just someone reading slides. That’s not what you get from this course. We’ve developed interactive diagrams that you can interact with as you’re learning. That way, as we’re discussing concepts or as we’re deploying resources in the AWS cloud, you can visualize exactly what’s going on side-by-side.

🗺️ Scenario-based: From the very beginning of the course, we set up a realistic and sample AWS multi-tier architecture, which we then evaluate from a security perspective to understand potential attack vectors. The rest of the course centers around this architecture and those security concerns so that we can learn how to properly defend our AWS resources, just as we would on the job as cloud security professionals.

🧪 Hands-On and Lab-based: Every practical step we take in the course can be completed in your very own AWS account, and we will be adding actual lab scenarios for you to complete. Most if not all of them can be done for free using the AWS free tier. We inform you beforehand if there are any resources that will cost money so you can decide whether you want to complete those labs/steps or not.

Receive 5h 48mins of CEU/CPE

After completing the course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion with the required information to submit 5h 48mins of Continuing Education Units (CEU) or Continuing Professional Education (CPE).
