Introduction To Cloud Computing And Security (SEC388)

Today's world of cyber security moves quickly. Cloud security moves even faster, so getting started or moving into a career in this field can be intimidating if you do not have the foundation to be successful.

SANS SEC388 solves this problem by helping you to learn the foundational elements of modern cloud computing and security. This course kicks off your journey to becoming a SANS Cloud Ace by taking an introductory yet critical look at cloud security.

This course focuses on Azure and AWS, and shows you how to interact with each cloud provider by familiarizing you with common terminology, cloud services, security concerns, and solutions to cloud-based security shortcomings.

Through hands-on labs, SEC388 puts you in real-world scenarios that challenge you to learn more about AWS, Azure, and relevant cloud computing and security concepts.

The purpose of SEC388 is to learn the fundamentals of cloud computing and security. We do this by introducing and eventually immersing, you in both AWS and Azure; by doing so, we are able to expose you to important concepts, services, and the intricacies of each vendor's platform.

This course provides you with the knowledge you need to confidently speak to modern cybersecurity security issues brought on by the cloud, and become well-versed with applicable terminology. You won't just learn about cloud security, you will learn the "how" and the "what" behind the critical cloud security topics impacting businesses today.
