Hi, and welcome to the AWS Certified Security – Specialty course!

I am Chandra Lingam, and I am your instructor.

In this course, you will gain first-hand experience on how to protect, monitor, detect, and respond to security incidents.

I have structured the curriculum into two parts: The first portion of the curriculum is a refresher.

We all come from different backgrounds and skills.

So, this refresher section covers the common minimum knowledge about AWS that is required for this exam.

We start by looking at the architecture of an order processing system using a server-based and serverless approach.

Having a blueprint of the solution will help you prepare for security risks in each component and how to handle them.

Each refresher section covers a core service. You will learn relevant concepts, complete the labs and quiz

We then dive into more advanced security topics.

How to manage identities and access

Gain visibility into activities in your AWS environment and respond in near real-time

How to monitor network traffic flow and troubleshoot connectivity issues

Managing multiple accounts in a large organization, enabling single sign-on, sharing resources among accounts

As a case study, we will review a recent attack in AWS and how to defend from such incidents

Various AWS services to protect and manage your environment.

Data encryption is a particularly important topic, and you will learn how to design and implement an appropriate encryption solution for data at rest and data in transit

We then look at incident response concepts, Acceptable use policy, abuse notifications, how to prepare for and manage a security incident, security testing procedures and so forth

The course also comes with a timed practice test

With the knowledge you gain in this course, you will also easily clear the certification exam!

I am looking forward to meeting you!
