Foundations

In the Securing the Cloud: Foundations course from Antisyphon, you will get to know the basic topics of security in cloud systems. This course examines the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform and takes a look at securing a startup company on this platform with a practical approach that prepares you to design a secure structure for such companies. This course introduces the audience to ideas such as security through basic settings and examines the service and routes used to lock down basic security breaches of this platform. Finally, the participants of this course will gain basic knowledge about controlling, identifying and protecting cloud systems.

In this course, we’ll explore Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a platform. We will take the perspective of a new startup company spinning up infrastructure in AWS for the very first time. We’ll use a scenario-based approach, where you’ll don the persona of a security engineer on your first day at a new startup. This course will demonstrate ideas like secure-by-default and will examine services and patterns for locking down defaults using a combination of open source and platform-native tooling. Finally, attendees will walk away with a practical understanding of various controls, detections, and guardrails.
