The Cloud Security & Compliance (AWS / Azure / GCP) training is a focused two-day program designed to help participants understand how security, governance, and compliance are implemented in public cloud environments. This course explains shared responsibility models, cloud security controls, regulatory compliance considerations, and governance mechanisms across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, enabling learners to support secure, compliant, and audit-ready cloud deployments.

• Understand the cloud security principles, compliance frameworks, and governance capabilities of Amazon Web Services, Microsoft  Azure, and Google Cloud Platform for enterprise cloud environments.
• Set up and apply cloud security controls, identity policies, compliance standards, and governance frameworks across multi-cloud  infrastructures.
• Design secure cloud architectures, access control strategies, data protection models, and compliance-driven deployment workflows  using cloud security best practices.
• Implement identity management, encryption, monitoring, threat detection, compliance validation, and incident response workflows  effectively.
• Debug, test, and optimize security controls, governance processes, and cloud operations for scalability, reliability, and regulatory  compliance.
• Build secure, compliant, and production-ready multi-cloud security solutions using industry best practices.

• Cloud security and information security professionals
• IT governance, risk, and compliance professionals
• Cloud architects and IT administrators
• Internal auditors and assurance professionals
• Professionals involved in cloud migration and operations

• Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts
• Familiarity with IT infrastructure and security fundamentals
• Awareness of risk, compliance, or governance concepts is beneficial
• No prior cloud security certification is required

• Understanding cloud security and compliance principles
• Knowledge of shared responsibility models across cloud providers
• Ability to identify cloud security risks and controls
• Awareness of regulatory and compliance requirements in cloud
• Capability to support secure and compliant cloud environments

By the end of this training, participants will have a clear understanding of cloud security and compliance across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. Learners will be able to support cloud governance initiatives, identify and manage cloud security risks, align cloud controls with regulatory requirements, and contribute to secure and compliant cloud operations.
