Cloud Security Pro Protect Your Digital Assets #259015

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Identify and mitigate common cloud vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

2. Implement identity and access management (IAM) policies aligned with the principle of least privilege.

3. Secure cloud networks using segmentation, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.

4. Encrypt data both at rest and in transit across cloud services.

5. Monitor and respond to threats using cloud-native security tools (e.g., AWS GuardDuty, Azure Sentinel).

6. Ensure compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 in cloud environments.
