EPAM/UpSkill : Security Engineering on AWS - Instructor-Led Training

Security is a concern for both customers in the cloud, and those considering cloud adoption. An increase in cyberattacks and data leaks remains top of mind for most industry personnel. The Security Engineering on AWS  course addresses these concerns by helping you better understand how to interact and build with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in a secure way. In this course, you will learn about managing identities and roles, managing and provisioning accounts, and monitoring API activity for anomalies. You will also learn about how to protect data stored on AWS. The course explores how you can generate, collect, and monitor logs to help identify security incidents. Finally, you will review detecting and investigating security incidents with AWS services. The course is delivered by skilled Amazon Authorized Instructors, who daily polish their skills and knowledge on production enterprise projects.

It also includes additional hands-on tasks to polish your skills within special EPAM AWS Sandbox, for no extra fee.
