About This Course
The CCSK Plus v5 course provides comprehensive cloud security knowledge through both foundational theory and hands-on labs. Covering 12 critical domains, students learn essential concepts such as Cloud Computing Architectures, Cloud Governance, Risk Management, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Security Monitoring. The course emphasizes practical application by engaging students in real-world scenarios like securing cloud accounts and deploying secure virtual networks (VPCs) and instances. Through labs available in AWS or Azure, participants enhance their skills in encryption, storage security, and application security.
Course Syllabus
Learn what to configure in the first 5 minutes of opening a new cloud account and enable security controls such as MFA, basic monitoring, and IAM.
Expand on your work in the first lab and implement more-complex identity management and monitoring. This includes expanding IAM with Attribute Based Access Controls, implementing security alerting, and understanding how to structure enterprise-scale IAM and monitoring.
Create a virtual network (VPC) and implement a baseline security configuration. You will also learn how to securely select and launch a virtual machine (instance), run a vulnerability assessment in the cloud, and connect to the instance.
Expand your deployment by adding a storage volume encrypted with a customer managed key. You will also learn how to secure snapshots and other data.
Finish the technical labs by completely building out a 2-tier application and implementing federated identity using OpenID.
Practice using the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix and STAR registry to evaluate risk and select a cloud provider.
