Cloud Security & DevSecOps Engineering

Master AWS/Azure security, container security, IAM exploitation, and secure software development pipelines (DevSecOps) with hands-on ranges.

⏱ Duration: 35 Hours👤 Lead: Sarah Jenkins, Cloud Security Architect🛡 Sandbox Labs Included

What you'll learn

✔Secure AWS and Azure public cloud infrastructures using security best practices
✔Audit and exploit IAM credentials, policies, and roles for privilege escalation
✔Harden Docker containers and secure Kubernetes clusters against microservice breakouts
✔Integrate automated security scanning (SAST/DAST/SCA) directly into GitHub Actions pipelines

Course Details

Course Overview

Welcome to the Cloud Security & DevSecOps Engineering course. In the modern cloud-native era, organizations are shifting their infrastructures to microservice architectures and public cloud models. Consequently, the traditional security perimeter is vanishing, replaced by complex IAM policies, Docker containers, and container orchestrators.

This course teaches you how to design secure cloud systems, identify cloud configurations vulnerable to breach, and automate security checks directly inside software release cycles.

Why Choose This Course?

  1. Cloud Range Virtual Sandboxes: Spawn vulnerable cloud configurations on-demand to test IAM escalations and metadata exploits.
  2. Kubernetes Hardening Labs: Audit a fully active Kubernetes cluster and apply Pod Security standards step-by-step.
  3. Automate Everything: Learn to write automation configurations that block vulnerable code commits in GitHub pipelines automatically.

Course Syllabus Details

We begin by detailing the architecture of AWS and Azure security components. Next, we pivot to offensive cloud operations, demonstrating how a leaked access key can be used to escalate permissions and hijack entire domains. From there, we move to container runtimes and Kubernetes, before finishing with hands-on pipeline automation setups.

  • >Familiarity with basic DevOps tools like Git, Docker, and CI/CD principles

Course FAQ

Are public cloud accounts provided for testing?

Yes, you receive credential sandbox access to isolated AWS/Azure testing nodes hosted in our secure range servers so you do not need to create or pay for your own cloud account.

Is the course relevant for cloud certifications?

Yes, this course covers concepts from AWS Certified Security - Speciality and CCSP certification domains.
