Securing Cloud Operations
Learn hands-on cloud security for AWS, Azure, and GCP. Configure IAM, firewalls, and encryption; enable GuardDuty and Defender; and map controls to CIS, ISO, and NIST frameworks to build and audit secure, compliant cloud operations.
Overview
Are You Ready to Secure Your First Cloud Project?
The cloud is where today’s ideas turn into tomorrow’s apps—but an unsecured virtual machine, open storage bucket, or forgotten access key can derail that dream overnight. Securing Cloud Operations is a straightforward, step-by-step course that teaches absolute beginners how to set up, strengthen, and review a small web stack on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud using only free-tier services and simple checklists.
You will learn why service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) matter, how the shared-responsibility model works, and which one-click security features offer instant protection. By the end, you’ll have tested your VM against the CIS Benchmark, exported evidence for an audit folder, and walked away with a printable ten-control checklist you can apply to every future project.

What you'll learn
- Differentiate the security responsibilities of the cloud provider vs. the customer across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS service models.

- Deploy and operationalize cloud-native security services (e.g., AWS GuardDuty, Azure Defender, Google Cloud SCC) to detect threats and manage incident response workflows.
- Map application and infrastructure workloads to compliance frameworks including CIS Benchmarks, ISO/IEC 27001, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, producing evidence artifacts for audits.
