Security Engineering on AWS + Security Engineering JAM

This course is delivered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

This course demonstrates how to efficiently use AWS security services to stay secure in the AWS Cloud. The course focuses on the security practices that AWS recommends for enhancing the security of your data and systems in the cloud. It 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.

The final day is an AWS Jam, a gamified event, with teams competing to score points by completing a series of challenges according to established best practices based on concepts covered in the course. You get to experience a wide range of AWS services in a series of real-world scenarios that represent common operational and troubleshooting tasks. The end result is developing, enhancing, and validating your skillsets in the AWS Cloud through real-world problem solving, exploring new services, features, and understanding how they interoperate.

This course includes presentations based on use cases, group discussions, demonstrations, assessments, and hands-on labs.

At the end of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Identify security benefits and responsibilities of using the AWS Cloud
• Build secure application infrastructures
• Protect applications and data from common security threats
• Perform and automate security checks
• Configure authentication and permissions for applications and resources
• Monitor AWS resources and respond to incidents
• Capture and process logs
• Create and configure automated and repeatable deployments with tools such as AMIs and AWS CloudFormation
• Work in a team environment to solve real AWS use-case challenges in an AWS Jam

This course is intended for security engineers, security architects, and information security professionals.
