Overview
Practical learning for workplace transfer.
This in-depth course develops directly applicable capability in Cloud-Native Application Protection and Cloud Security Posture Management. It connects CNAPP Architecture and Cloud Inventory, Posture and Configuration Assessment, and Entitlement and Workload Risk to the decisions, controls, and activities participants need to perform in their workplace. The five-module curriculum progresses toward Cloud Posture Investigation Exercise, using evidence, scenarios, and work products appropriate to the subject.
Objectives
- Analyze cnapp architecture and cloud inventory, including cspm, cwpp, ciem, iac scanning, and runtime protection roles.
- Configure or structure posture and configuration assessment, including benchmark mapping for identity, network, storage, logging, and encryption.
- Evaluate entitlement and workload risk, including effective permissions, toxic combinations, and dormant privileges.
- Manage shift-left and remediation workflow, including scanning terraform, templates, registries, and ci pipelines.
- Apply cloud posture investigation exercise, including analyze an attack path across identity, storage, and workload assets.
Target audience
- Professionals responsible for this subject area
- Managers, supervisors, and team leaders
- Analysts, specialists, engineers, or coordinators working with the relevant processes
- Project, implementation, assurance, or improvement team members
- Professionals preparing for broader responsibilities in this field
