Security governance
This course teaches you security governance from a cloud perspective. You learn how to create policies and standards and implement these in public clouds such as Azure and AWS. A Cloud security governance framework template is provided for you to use in your own work.
NIST CSF 2.0
During the course you learn to develop a cloud security governance framework and create a holistic security architecture for multicloud using NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0.
Security operations using Azure Arc
A more technically oriented section cover security operations in Azure and AWS using Azure Arc as a tool for multicloud visibility.
Cloud security posture management
Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is covered in the last section of the course. In this section you learn how to set up Microsoft Defender for cloud to connect to resources in AWS.
