These hands-on labs on the Cybr platform provided practical, real-world scenarios that have significantly improved my ability to implement and manage secure IAM policies in AWS.
Ihor Sasovets Security Engineer | Penetration Tester
I must say that after doing these courses and labs, my knowledge has not only increased in the offensive side, but on also how can we secure our accounts by adding multiple layers of access controls like Permission Boundaries, Resource Based Policies, SCPs etc.
1llus1on Cybr Learner
Absolutely loving the content/labs, by far one of the best/easiest cloud resources I've worked with. I completed the IAM PrivEsc course which was a blast, going through it again for the 3rd to cement everything I've learned.
