Fundamental Cloud Security Training FAQs: Cost, Training, Value

What are the essential fundamentals when it comes to cloud security?

Different vendors provide different approaches to the same essential elements of cloud security: encryption, identity and access management (IAM), network security, and compliance adherence. The fundamentals of cloud security come down to understanding how to navigate your cloud service provider's settings and interfaces to protect data, applications and infrastructure. Different tools and services related to those provide data confidentiality, secure access, firewall protection, traffic monitoring and compliance with regulatory standards.

Are there any certifications tied to the course on the fundamentals of cloud security?

No, this fundamental cloud security training isn't designed to help you pass a test or memorize exam questions, instead it's focused on real-world, practical skills related to maintaining a cloud network's security posture. The skills you'll learn from taking this course, identifying vulnerabilities, mitigating risks and responding effectively to security incidents, are valuable skills that could potentially apply to many cybersecurity certification exams such as the Security+ from CompTIA.

Who should take this course on basic cloud security training?

Obviously, entry-level cybersecurity professionals looking for their first job as well as people hoping to land their first job in cybersecurity should take this fundamental cloud security training. But it's also relevant to non-cybersecurity IT professionals like systems or network administrators – anyone who is responsible for managing cloud environments should learn the basics of securing them. Developers, network engineers and even non-technical professionals can all benefit from fundamental cloud security training.

Is fundamental cloud security training enough to get a job?

The skills and knowledge on this course are aimed at junior cybersecurity professionals pursuing their first job, but this course alone may not be enough to get you a job, especially since it doesn't immediately lead to a certification. This course is best for people already working in cybersecurity or IT who have realized their familiarity with cloud security principles are lacking and need a fast path to the basics.

What's the difference between cloud security and conventional cybersecurity?

The major differences between cloud security and conventional cybersecurity lie in the fact that cloud infrastructures are distributed. Cloud security emphasizes shared responsibility for security between the cloud service provider and users, for example in the specialized measures necessary for cloud identity and access management of multi-tenant systems. Encryption for data in transit and at rest are other key differences, since conventional cybersecurity is concerned with locally secured, on-prem resources.
