Description:
This 4-day training provides a comprehensive exploration of security in AWS environments, blending theoretical concepts with hands-on practice. Participants start by understanding the shared responsibility model, encryption fundamentals, and identity management with IAM before moving into service-level security for compute, storage, databases, and networking.
Learners will practice setting up IAM policies and roles, configuring secure EC2 instances, managing S3 encryption, and designing secure VPC architectures with ACLs, Security Groups, and Flow Logs. Modules also cover database security with RDS, Aurora, and DynamoDB, as well as monitoring and auditing using CloudTrail and CloudWatch.
Advanced topics include AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for encryption, cross-account access, AWS Organizations, Cognito for identity federation, and mitigation strategies for DDoS attacks. Participants will also be introduced to security tools such as AWS Inspector, as well as incident response planning and penetration testing approaches.
By the end of this training, participants will have a solid grasp of AWS security capabilities, enabling them to design and manage secure architectures, monitor compliance, and respond effectively to incidents. The course is highly recommended for professionals seeking to strengthen their AWS security expertise or prepare for AWS Security-related certifications.
