Cloud Security Architecture Strategy Certificate

Product Details

This certificate equips cybersecurity and business professionals with the knowledge and practical strategies to design, implement and manage secure cloud environments. Through a series of focused courses, learners gain expertise in zero trust design, multicloud security, compliance alignment and executive-level cloud strategy—building the competencies needed to lead secure cloud transformation initiatives across modern enterprises. It is comprised of four courses:

Cloud Governance, Risk Management and Compliance
Explore the essential concepts of cloud governance, risk management and compliance with a focus on diverse regulatory environments; cloud security policies and procedures; and contractual requirements in cloud environments. 

Cloud Security for Business Leaders
Explore core concepts, challenges and technologies that influence strategic adoption, security and governance of cloud environments.

Multicloud Security Strategies
This course is designed to help cybersecurity professionals consider effective approaches to an architectural strategy that deliberately uses more than one cloud provider to host applications, services or data. Learners will explore essential considerations and strategies to ensure robust security across diverse platforms and effectively secure multicloud infrastructures.

Zero Trust Architecture in Cloud Environments
Explore the principles and practical implementation of zero trust in cloud security.
