Security Engineering on AWS
(AWS-SEC-ENG)

Do you want to further your knowledge about security engineering on AWS? This course demonstrates how to efficiently use AWS security services to stay secure in the AWS Cloud and focuses on best practices that AWS recommends for enhancing the security of your data and systems in the cloud. The course highlights the security features of AWS key services, including compute, storage, networking, and database services. You will also learn how to leverage AWS services and tools for automation, continuous monitoring and logging, and responding to security incidents.

Our in-class and online AWS courses help you improve your digital security. You will receive AWS training to build infrastructures protected against common security threats, use the shared security model, encrypt data, reproduce and automate security checks, and identify and eliminate potential threats. Additionally, you will examine use cases for running regulated workloads on AWS across different verticals, globally. Students who take an in-class or online training course should already have a knowledge of IT security practices and infrastructure familiarity. They should also have experience with cloud computing concepts and have taken either Architecting on AWS or Systems Operations on AWS. The course gives you three days of thorough instruction. It includes a mixture of classroom training, group exercises, and hands-on activities that let you apply your IT training to real-world situations.
