In this intermediate AWS skills training, Bart Castle prepares learners to take the data security portion of the SCS-C01 exam, which is the one required exam to earn the AWS Certified Security - Specialty certification.
Data breaches often aren’t caused by someone breaking in. More often than not, someone gives them the key or leaves the door unlocked entirely. Unintentional misconfigurations are the main culprit for most data breaches. Open S3 buckets and unencrypted data are only a couple problems you’ll learn to solve in this AWS Data Security training. After completing this AWS training, you'll know how to secure your data, including data at rest and data in transit.
For IT managers, this AWS training can be used for AWS Security exam prep, on-boarding new cloud engineers, or part of a team training plan.
