About this course
The AWS IAM course equips you with the essential skills to secure cloud applications and environments on AWS. You’ll learn core cloud security principles, the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, and cloud adoption and migration fundamentals to plan secure transitions to the cloud. The course covers Identity and Access Management (IAM) on AWS, where you’ll learn to manage users, roles, and permissions to enforce least-privilege access. You’ll also learn core security practices on AWS, including data protection approaches, compliance basics, security audits, and how to use AWS security services to reduce risk across cloud workloads. Through the hands-on project on a Cloud Security Assessment and Migration Plan, you’ll gain practical experience assessing an application’s security posture, identifying risks, and applying security controls to protect data and access. You’ll also create a secure migration plan using cloud adoption frameworks and migration techniques, aligning security requirements with business needs. By the end of this Cloud Security and Identity Access Management Course, you’ll be able to evaluate cloud security risks, configure secure access with IAM, apply AWS security services, and support secure cloud migrations with confidence.
