SEC540 - Single User | Single user license for Cloud - SEC540: Cloud Native Security & DevSecOps Automation | $8,780.00 |
Dimensions summary
This listing has one pricing dimension: a single-user license billed as a contract. You buy access per person, priced by the number of units you select. Each unit covers one individual's enrollment in the SEC540 course. Pricing scales directly with the number of licenses you purchase. There are no separate tiers, instance sizes, or usage add-ons in this listing. To train more people, you add more single-user units.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is a license for a single person to take the SEC540 course. It covers that individual's enrollment, hands-on labs, and course materials. To train more people, you buy one unit per person. Licenses are tied to named individuals and are not shared across a team.
No. The single-user license covers course enrollment and its 19 hands-on labs. The associated GIAC Cloud Security Automation (GCSA) certification attempt is a separate add-on. You choose whether to add a certification attempt when you register; it is not bundled into the unit price.
No. Each unit grants access for one individual. Course material cannot be shared with others. Self-paced OnDemand access runs for a set 4-month period per license, so a unit covers one person's enrollment window rather than ongoing or transferable access.
