Cloud Security Training in Cyprus

Description:

This 2-day CCSK Plus course includes all content from the CCSK Foundation course, and expands on it with extensive hands-on labs in a second day of training. Students will learn to apply their knowledge by performing a series of exercises involving a scenario that brings a fictional organization securely into the cloud. After completing this training, students will be well prepared for the CCSK certification exam, sponsored by Cloud Security Alliance. This second day of training includes additional lecture, although students will spend most of their time assessing, building, and securing a cloud infrastructure during the exercises.

Objectives:

This is a two day class that begins with the CCSK- Basic training, followed by a second day of additional content and hands-on activities

Target Audience:

This class is geared towards security professionals, but is also useful for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of cloud security.

Cloud adoption changes how applications are built, deployed and operated — shifting responsibility between vendor and customer while introducing cloud-native platforms (containers, serverless, managed services) that require adapted security controls. Security must therefore address infrastructure hardening, identity and access management, data protection, secure development practices, and cloud-specific threat vectors.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level developers, security engineers, and IT managers who wish to gain practical, hands-on skills to secure cloud applications and their supporting infrastructure, while learning repeatable controls and assessment techniques that map to current industry frameworks and cloud provider guidance.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Explain the cloud shared-responsibility model and apply it to application security decisions.
• Harden cloud infrastructure (IaaS), secure platform services (PaaS) and evaluate SaaS configurations.
• Apply secure coding and OWASP-based mitigation patterns to cloud-hosted applications.
• Integrate security tooling into CI/CD pipelines (SAST/DAST/DAST/IAST/RASP) and adopt shift-left practices.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion tied to live demos.
• Hands-on labs using cloud consoles, containers, serverless functions, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Practical exercises: secure configuration, vulnerability scanning, attack simulation and remediation planning.

The course is providing practical knowledge on OpenStack and private cloud security. It starts from the introduction to the system, then the participants are getting practical knowledge on security in private clouds and securing OpenStack installation. During the course, each of the core OpenStack modules is presented, participants are building up virtual identity, image, network, compute and storage resources while discussing relevant security topics. Each participant is getting their own training environment with a complete OpenStack installation based on selected cloud architecture (eg. storage, networking). The training could be highly customized based on the needs of the client.

Customization options
The training can be contracted to 2 days, focusing on core aspects relevant for the customer. The training can be also extended regarding administrative, design, networking and/or troubleshooting topics concerning OpenStack deployments
