About This Course
This course provides an introduction to cloud security concepts and is ideal for anyone who wishes to learn the core principles of cloud infrastructure, data, and application security.

You’ll then move on to the fundamentals of cloud architecture and design. Following that, you’ll learn how to secure the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) account using best practices and techniques.
From there, you’ll learn about securing cloud data-at-rest and data-in-transit by using various cryptographic mechanisms and security controls offered by the cloud service provider. And you’ll learn how to secure applications in the cloud. Lastly, you’ll explore the critical and often overlooked approaches to legal and regulatory compliance when working with cloud solution providers.
