Course Overview

Discover the critical intersection of cybersecurity and cloud architecture with our ‘Cloud Security & Governance’ course. Moving to the cloud represents a fundamental paradigm shift in risk management. At TBC, we designed this course to help you master the Shared Responsibility Model (SRM) and build resilient, secure-by-design architectures across platforms like Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Whether you are an IT professional pivoting to security or a cloud administrator looking to harden your environments, this course dives deep into modern cloud defenses. You will master Identity and Access Management (IAM) as the new security perimeter, implement Zero Trust principles, and protect sensitive data across its lifecycle using advanced encryption and key management. Furthermore, you will shift security “left” by integrating DevSecOps, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and container security into your deployment workflows.

By completing this course, you will be equipped to orchestrate a unified security posture in a complex multi-cloud world. You will leverage Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Policy-as-Code, and cloud-native SIEM/SOAR tools like Microsoft Sentinel to detect, contain, and automate responses to sophisticated cyber threats while ensuring continuous regulatory compliance.

Competencies

Course Breakdown

  • Analyze the Shared Responsibility Model (SRM) and design resilient, highly available cloud architectures using Defense-in-Depth (DiD) strategies.

  • Implement robust Identity and Access Management (IAM), enforcing Least Privilege, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Conditional Access across hybrid environments.

  • Design and enforce data protection strategies across the data lifecycle, utilizing encryption at rest and in transit with Customer-Managed Keys (CMK).

  • Automate security compliance and governance using Policy-as-Code and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools.

  • Develop a Cloud Incident Response (CIR) plan utilizing cloud-native SIEM/SOAR platforms for rapid threat detection and API-driven containment.

Dive into the paradigm shift of cloud security, the Shared Responsibility Model (SRM), and the evolving threat landscape. You will learn to secure foundational cloud infrastructure using Software-Defined Networking (SDN), microsegmentation, and Defense-in-Depth (DiD), while designing for High Availability (HA) to ensure resilience against attacks.

Master the concept that “Identity is the new perimeter.” Implement Zero Trust using Microsoft Entra ID, enforce Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and manage highly privileged accounts with Just-in-Time (JIT) access. You will also classify and protect sensitive data across its lifecycle utilizing advanced encryption, Azure Key Vault, and Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB).

Secure core network perimeters in both AWS (VPCs, Security Groups, NACLs) and Azure (NSGs, Firewalls). Shift security “left” by embracing DevSecOps, Threat Modeling, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). You will also learn the unique security requirements for modern workloads, including Kubernetes containers and Serverless functions.

Establish continuous compliance and automated governance using Azure Policy and Blueprints. You will learn to navigate the complexities of data sovereignty, pass-through audits, and securing the highly critical Management Plane to prevent total account compromise.

Prepare for and respond to cloud-specific cyber threats using the Cloud Incident Response (CIR) framework. You will utilize Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM/SOAR) for centralized threat detection, automated API-driven containment, and cross-cloud governance, culminating in a capstone review of a real-world multi-cloud security migration.
