The Introduction to Practical Cloud Security is a 2-day course that attempts to present an overview of the most critical security aspects in the major public cloud providers. AWS, Azure and GCP will all be covered, but AWS will be highlighted due to the inherent complexity of its security and IAM model. The course includes multiple practical exercises and demonstrations representing common or dangerous vulnerabilities in cloud configurations. Attention will be given to the AICPA SOC2 Security technical controls relevant to the Cloud Security topics in the course. The goal of the training is to enable participants to: - Be aware of common vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could result in cloud breaches; - Know the basic cloud security principles and how to apply them when designing a new, or securing an existing application; - Make use of the native and external security tools to ensure visibility and maintainability of the security processes;
