CLOS 103 Cloud Platform and Infrastructure Security

Any security program is grounded in a thorough understanding of risk: what risks are, how to analyze risk, and what to do about it.  Students learn risk management techniques and to be ready when disaster strikes, then apply the concepts hands-on to Amazon Web Services (AWS), an industry-leading commercial service. This course prepares students for the AWS SysOps Administrator certification.
