Today's organizations are more and more focused on delivering faster results and better products and services and doing this securely in an ever-evolving technological landscape. Cloud-based technologies have enabled the critical capabilities, functionality and innovations necessary to transform the way organizations survive and thrive in this competitive environment. As such, the cloud requires cybersecurity practitioners to think differently about managing risk, producing resilient solutions, and dealing with third-party providers. In this course, students will learn best practices for cloud security to include methods for architecting and applying security-related features in a cloud platform. Through case studies, standards, best practices, and studio exercises, students will develop the necessary skills to identify the security challenges of a cloud environment in support of the ongoing operations of the enterprise.
