What you will learn

Build cloud security architecture using a practical example

Apply a methodology based on NIST Cybersecurity Framework

Comply with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR

Manage risks like ransomware attacks and misconfigurations and select mitigation measures

Use a defense in depth strategy to build a resilient architecture

Create a cloud security strategy

Create security architecture documentation

Why take this course?

In this course you will learn how to master security architecture for the cloud. You will be using a methodology based on NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 to take your architecture from business- and regulatory requirements all the way to components and capabilities that can be implemented in the public cloud.

The course will teach you how to map requirements to security measures and perform risk assessments. You will learn to master security strategy for the cloud and build a resilient security posture using a defense in depth strategy. You will also be able to prove compliance to regulations like GDPR and HIPAA using the methodology presented in the course. An important learning objective is also to create structured security architecture documentation.

This course is based on a Health Clinic example and has a hands-on focus for learning. After course completion, you can use all the provided methods and templates from the course in your own work. The resulting components and capabilities can be implemented in any cloud platform, but the course does not cover a cloud platform specific technical implementation of the architecture.

I like the course, but it should not be that expensive for a methodology. Implementation would have made it valuable. I was engaged throughout though.

A must to do course. He has given step by step guidance and developed method to approach a cloud security architecture. If one completes the course properly, he/she will be able to create wonderful security architectures as per business requirements .

Very good! I am already using the templates from the course for a large cloud initiative in the German healthcare sector.

An excellent course that takes you through a practical, hand-on journey to design a cloud security architecture. The methodology presented has given me the framework that can be applied to different industries and different cloud service providers. I'll, of course, have to do the homework to make it applicable to my need, but at least now I have a clear roadmap. Thanks, Aksel.

Very good and practical oriented course! The hands-on assignments helps a lot both for understanding the course topics and for using it in my job as a security architect.

I was in search of a complete hands-on course on ‘Security Architecture’ . This course contains all that what I wished to have in a hands-on course . It’s not very high level security talk , instructor teach topic based on a real time examples with documentation and templates. I can make out , Instructor teaches topics from his own experience. Assignments are bonus to improve our skill and master the craft. Highly recommend course for up-skilling & improving security architecture knowledge.
