Securing Cloud Operations
Learn hands-on cloud security for AWS, Azure, and GCP. Configure IAM, firewalls, and encryption; enable GuardDuty and Defender; and map controls to CIS, ISO, and NIST frameworks to build and audit secure, compliant cloud operations.
Course Overview
Are You Ready to Secure Your First Cloud Project?
The cloud is where today’s ideas turn into tomorrow’s apps—but an unsecured virtual machine, open storage bucket, or forgotten access key can derail that dream overnight. Securing Cloud Operations is a straightforward, step-by-step course that teaches absolute beginners how to set up, strengthen, and review a small web stack on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud using only free-tier services and simple checklists.
You will learn why service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) matter, how the shared-responsibility model works, and which one-click security features offer instant protection. By the end, you’ll have tested your VM against the CIS Benchmark, exported evidence for an audit folder, and walked away with a printable ten-control checklist you can apply to every future project.
