Are You Ready to Secure Your First Cloud Project?

The cloud is where today’s ideas turn into tomorrow’s apps—but an unsecured virtual machine, open storage bucket, or forgotten access key can derail that dream overnight. Securing Cloud Operations is a straightforward, step-by-step course that teaches absolute beginners how to set up, strengthen, and review a small web stack on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud using only free-tier services and simple checklists. You will learn why service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) matter, how the shared-responsibility model works, and which one-click security features offer instant protection. This course is designed for cloud engineers, DevOps engineers, security analysts, and solution architects who want practical skills for securing real cloud environments. It’s a strong fit for anyone responsible for building, operating, or reviewing cloud infrastructure and who needs a clear, hands-on approach to strengthening cloud workloads. Learners should have a basic grasp of networking and virtualization, along with some experience using at least one major cloud platform such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. You don’t need deep security knowledge—just enough comfort navigating cloud consoles and launching simple resources. By the end of the course, learners will be able to distinguish shared responsibilities across cloud service models, configure identity and network protections, enable and interpret cloud-native security tools, and align their environment with frameworks like CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF while generating simple, audit-ready evidence.

In this course, you’ll learn how to secure a beginner-level cloud environment across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud using simple, practical steps. You’ll harden virtual machines, control access, lock down networks and storage, and turn on native security tools that help you spot threats early. By the end, you’ll be able to apply key controls, run basic compliance checks, gather audit-ready evidence, and follow a lightweight incident response workflow—all using free-tier services and clear checklists you can reuse on any future cloud project.
