Gain insights into cloud service architectures, security threats, access control, trust boundaries, and industry best practices for securing cloud-based systems. Examine advanced security mechanisms (including geotagging, BIOS security, and threat modelling) to mitigate potential risks and cyber threats. Through hands-on exercises and real-world scenarios, develop the skills you need to be able to design and implement secure cloud solutions.
