Overview
Do you want to further your knowledge about security engineering on AWS? This course demonstrates how to efficiently use AWS security services to stay secure in the AWS Cloud and focuses on best practices that AWS recommends for enhancing the security of your data and systems in the cloud. The course highlights the security features of AWS key services, including compute, storage, networking, and database services. You will also learn how to leverage AWS services and tools for automation, continuous monitoring and logging, and responding to security incidents.
Our in-class and online AWS courses help you improve your digital security. You will receive AWS training to build infrastructures protected against common security threats, use the shared security model, encrypt data, reproduce and automate security checks, and identify and eliminate potential threats. Additionally, you will examine use cases for running regulated workloads on AWS across different verticals, globally. Students who take an in-class or online training course should already have a knowledge of IT security practices and infrastructure familiarity. They should also have experience with cloud computing concepts and have taken either Architecting on AWS or Systems Operations on AWS. The course gives you three days of thorough instruction. It includes a mixture of classroom training, group exercises, and hands-on activities that let you apply your IT training to real-world situations.

The course is awesome. Thank you, Micheal Mackay, sir and the ExitCertified team for providing this informative course.
Ruben was highly knowledgeable in the subject matter and made it a point to present the course content in a logical and digestible manner. He was able to explain concepts and answer related questions without hesitation.
I feel far more confident in the path for exam preparation thanks to this class. Well done to all involved!
Ruben delivered the material in an engaging, entertaining manner. His command of the material was excellent.
I really enjoyed this course and would definitely like to enroll in additional courses!
I'm very happy with the instructor, Pete Durst. He is very knowledgeable... I don't think there's any aspect of AWS, security or other, that he's not aware of! Seems like he knows the entire suite of AWS products inside and out. Very outstanding instructor who provided many real-world examples and expounded upon every topic we covered to include tips and extra info.
