Cloud Security Training: AWS, Azure & GCP Security for Major Providers

HumanShield’s cloud security training equips decision-makers and practitioners with practical skills for AWS, Azure & GCP security across the major providers. Built for IT professionals, IT Risk leaders, mid and senior management evaluating build vs buy, and technical teams (developers, Product, DevOps/CloudOps), our program turns multi-cloud complexity into clear controls, repeatable processes, and measurable outcomes.

Cloud Security Fundamentals

Ground your teams in cloud security fundamentals: principles, threats, and the operating model behind secure cloud adoption. Participants learn shared concepts such as least privilege, segmentation, encryption, logging/monitoring, and pipeline-centric change — a common language for architects, security teams and management.

---

Multi-Cloud Security Training (AWS, Azure, GCP)

Avoid siloed learning. Our multi-cloud security training compares patterns across AWS, Azure and GCP so teams understand platform differences while applying consistent guardrails. Labs map principles to each provider’s native services and reference architectures.

AWS Security Services & Best Practices

Hands-on with core AWS controls: IAM, Organizations, Control Tower, GuardDuty, Security Hub, KMS, VPC, WAF, Shield, CloudTrail/Config. We translate AWS best practices into deployable baselines and pipeline-friendly enforcement.

Azure Security Center & Tools

Operationalize Azure security via Defender for Cloud, Entra ID (Azure AD), Azure Policy/Blueprints, Key Vault, NSGs/ASGs, Private Link, Sentinel, and logging with Monitor. Build landing zones that balance agility with enterprise governance.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Security

Apply GCP patterns with IAM Conditions, Organization Policies, SCC, KMS, VPC Service Controls, Cloud Armor, Jetstream logging, and Chronicle integrations. Design perimeter controls and least-privilege service architectures.

Cloud Security Best Practices

This track distills proven cloud security best practices that reduce risk without slowing delivery — aligned to your operating model and audit needs.

Identity & Access Management (IAM) in Cloud

Design role-based access, short-lived credentials and workload identities. Standardize IAM guardrails across providers and eliminate standing privileges with break-glass and approval flows.

Cloud Data Encryption & Protection

Protect data with KMS/HSM strategy, envelope encryption, key rotation, tokenization, and classification-driven controls. Align storage choices to sensitivity and residency requirements.

Cloud Network Security

Implement segmentation, private connectivity, zero-egress patterns, WAF/WAAP, DDoS protections, and secure inbound/outbound gateways. Validate flows with policy-as-code and continuous checks.

Container & Kubernetes Security

Secure containers and clusters: image signing/scanning, minimal base images, runtime controls, network policies, secrets, and admission controllers. Map controls to EKS/AKS/GKE specifics.

Serverless Security (FaaS)

Lock down functions with least-privilege roles, secure triggers, env-secrets, dependency hygiene and observability, while managing multi-tenant risks and blast radius.

---

Shared Responsibility Model

Clarify the shared responsibility model: what cloud providers secure versus your team’s responsibilities. We align controls to each layer (identity, data, workload, network, logging) so leaders and operators know exactly where accountability sits.

---

Cloud Compliance & Governance

Build a durable governance layer for regulated environments. Teams learn to align cloud controls to policy, risk, and audit needs while keeping developers productive.

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

Use CSPM to continuously assess misconfigurations and drift. Prioritize findings, integrate with ticketing, and enforce guardrails with policy-as-code and pipeline checks.

Cloud Incident Response

Prepare responders with cloud-specific playbooks: forensics-friendly logging, snapshot/isolate patterns, credential compromise response, and cross-account incident coordination.

Cloud Security Certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP)

Guidance for role-based paths (e.g., AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer). Align certification prep to your operating model and career frameworks.

Cloud Security Training Benefits

For executives and managers, benefits include reduced risk in build vs buy decisions, faster cloud approvals, and clearer accountability. For engineers and CloudOps, benefits are safer defaults, fewer critical misconfigurations, and incident-ready visibility — all tied to measurable outcomes and audit evidence.

• Role-based paths for IT, IT Risk, management, developers and CloudOps
• Provider-specific labs for AWS, Azure and GCP
• Policy-to-pipeline mapping for repeatable enforcement
• Assessment, reporting and recommended remediation plans
