Abhinav Singh - Cloud Security Masterclass Defender's Guide to Securing AWS & Azure Infrastructure $1,600 (Early $1,400)

Description:

This is a unique course that is on the cloud and for the cloud. It helps train individuals on cloud terminologies and enables them to build scalable defense mechanisms for their services running in the public cloud. The training explicitly focuses on threat detection, Incident response, malware investigations, and forensic analysis of cloud infrastructure which is still a very less known domain in the market. The training will not use cloud-native security tools, but will focus more on building generic analysis pipelines that can be implemented in any cloud environment.

- Using cloud native technologies to build your own security services for your applications and services running in the cloud.
- Building real-time detection, monitoring and response capabilities for threat tracking and intelligence gathering. 
- Building Advanced automated pipelines through Detection-as-code features to defend public cloud infrastructures.

## Who Should Take This Course:

-   Red Team members
-   Blue team and Purple team members
-   Cloud Security Teams 
-   Incident responders, Analysts
-   Malware investigators and Analysts 
-   Threat intelligence analysts and Responders

Training description:

This hands-on CTF-style training focuses on elevating your security knowledge into the cloud. Learn to defend your AWS & Azure cloud infrastructure by building automated detection, alerting and response pipelines for your workloads by using native cloud services. This training focuses on building security knowledge on the cloud and for the cloud.
This training takes both investigator and builder approach towards security. It teaches you the fundamentals of cloud infrastructure security and focuses on building highly scalable threat detection, monitoring, and response tools by using cloud-native services like serverless, containers, object stores, IAM/AD, logic apps, SQL/KQL queries and much more.

By the end of this training, we will be able to (applies to both AWS & Azure):
* Use cloud technologies to detect & build automated responses against IAM & AD attacks.
* Understand and mitigate advanced identity-based attacks like pivoting and privilege escalation and build defense techniques against them.
* Use serverless functions to perform on-demand threat scans.
* Deploy containers to build threat detection services at scale.
* Build notification services to create detection alerts.
* Analyze malware-infected virtual machines to perform automated forensic investigations.
* Define step functions & logic apps to implement automated forensic artifacts collection for cloud resources.
* Build cloud security response playbooks for defense evasion, persistence and lateral movements.
* Perform advanced security investigations through architecting and deploying security data-lake for real-time threat intelligence and monitoring.
* Enforce multi-cloud security strategy through assessments, compliance checks and benchmarking automation.
