Cloud Security Fundamentals Module 2: Cloud Computing Models

The Cloud Computing Models learning activities help you analyze different public, private and hybrid cloud service and deployment models and also the shared responsibility model. Students evaluate virtual machine and network services that are utilized for cloud content deliveries, and focus directly on employing Next Generation Firewall technologies - NGFW - to protect data and prevent exploits.

Cloud Security Fundamentals Module 3: Cloud Native Technologies

Module 3 - Cloud Native Technologies - explores the underlying infrastructures of virtual machines, containers and serverless computing that are collectively known as the 'cloud'.

Cloud Security Fundamentals Module 4: Cloud Native Security

The Cloud Native Security module introduces the 4 C's: Cloud, Clusters, Containers and Code, and evaluates DevOps and DevSecOps best practices. It describes the CI/CP pipeline concepts of Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery, and addresses complexities associated with Visibility, Governance and Compliance.

Cloud Security Fundamentals Module 5 - Hybrid Data Center Security

Module 5 - Hybrid Data Center Security - analyzes the ways effective Data and Data services security protects data traffic for both internal (east - west) and external (north-south) data requests.
