Penetrate cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Master the techniques attackers use to compromise cloud environments and the defenses that stop them.
Cloud adoption has outpaced cloud security skills. SEC588 fills that gap with hands-on training exploiting real cloud misconfigurations and vulnerabilities across all major providers.
Attack cloud environments systematically:
Reconnaissance and Initial Access
Discover exposed cloud assets and misconfigurations
Enumerate cloud services and permissions
Exploit common cloud vulnerabilities
Gain initial access through multiple vectors
Privilege Escalation and Lateral Movement
Escalate privileges within cloud environments
Move between cloud services and accounts
Exploit trust relationships between systems
Access sensitive data across cloud boundaries
Persistence and Exfiltration
Establish persistent access in cloud environments
Exfiltrate data while avoiding detection
Understand cloud logging and detection capabilities
Test incident response procedures
Hands-on labs in live AWS, Azure, and GCP environments - no simulations. Attack real cloud services with real vulnerabilities under controlled conditions.

This listing offers one pricing dimension: a single-user license for the SEC588: Cloud Pen Testing course. You buy it per user, so pricing scales by the number of individual licenses you purchase. Each license covers one person's access to the course. There are no tiers or usage-based add-ons in this listing. If you need to train several people, you add more single-user licenses. The price shown in the table applies to each individual license under this Contract pricing model.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one single-user license include for the SEC588 course?
One license covers a single person's access to the SEC588: Cloud Pen Testing course. The course teaches cloud penetration testing through hands-on labs. Each license is tied to one individual and cannot be shared across multiple people. Buy additional licenses to cover additional students.
How do I cover several team members with this per-user pricing?
You buy one single-user license per person. Cost scales directly with the number of licenses purchased. There are no team tiers or usage-based add-ons in this listing. To train more people, you add more single-user licenses, each carrying the same per-license price shown in the table.
Does the price change based on how much I use the course?
No. This is Contract pricing, not usage-based. You pay a fixed price per single-user license regardless of how many hours you spend in the course or labs. Nothing meters your activity, so your cost stays the same once you buy the license.
