Description

Introduction

This advanced training delves into the intricacies of securing cloud environments from sophisticated cyber threats. Participants will learn how to identify, analyze, and respond to various cloud-based security threats such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, data breaches, and insider threats. The course covers advanced security techniques, cloud-native security tools, and incident response strategies that align with modern security frameworks. By the end of the training, participants will be able to design and implement robust security measures to defend cloud environments against evolving threats.
