Features and programs
Financing for AWS Marketplace purchases
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Description | Cost/12 months |
|---|---|---|
SEC673 - Single User | Single user license for Defense - SEC673: Advanced Information Security Automation with Python | $8,780.00 |
Dimensions summary
This listing offers one pricing option: a single-user license for the SEC673 course. You buy access for one person, billed as a contract. Pricing is measured in units, where each unit covers one individual learner. There are no tiers or instance sizes to choose from. To cover more people, you buy additional units, so cost scales with the number of learners you enroll.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit covers one named individual learner. It grants that person access to the SEC673 course content and labs. Each unit is tied to a single student, so licenses are not shared between multiple people.
You buy one unit for each learner. Cost scales with the number of people you enroll. Organizations sending multiple people may qualify for group purchasing through the vendor, which centralizes procurement and lets an administrator allocate and track training across a team.
Access depends on the training format you receive. Self-paced OnDemand courses provide a set access period, and extensions can be requested if you cannot finish in time. Check the specific access window for your format, or contact the vendor to confirm the duration tied to your license.
