Course Lessons
Lesson 2
Securing Access to Cloud Services
After this lesson, you will be able to secure access for both AWS users and applications, apply security best practices such as identity federation, and fine tune least privilege access permissions.
Lesson 3
Securing Access to Cloud Infrastructure
After this lesson, you will be able to access cloud resources securely, protect against data exfiltration, ensure compliance, and configure VPC endpoints to keep traffic within your VPC.
Lesson 4
Protecting Data Stored in the Cloud
Our goal is to minimize the risk of a malicious actor accessing our networks and servers, invoke the AWS API, and, ultimately, perform destructive or unauthorized actions in our environments.
Lesson 5
Defensive Security in the Cloud
You will identify vulnerable misconfigurations, guard against malicious activity, and design a deployment pipeline that ensures that security practices are implemented early on.
Lesson 6 • Project
Project: Secure the Recipe Vault Web Application
In this project, you'll put everything you learned in the course to secure a web application.
