About the programme
Course Overview
As organizations increasingly migrate to cloud environments, securing cloud-stored data has become a top priority in cybersecurity strategy.
Cloud platforms offer scalability and flexibility, but they also introduce complex risks—from misconfigurations and unauthorized access to advanced persistent threats and data breaches. Protecting cloud data requires more than just technical controls; it demands a comprehensive understanding of global standards such as ISO/IEC 27017 and 27018, alongside best practices in identity management, encryption, and access control.
This 5-day workshop is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and tools to secure cloud data effectively and in compliance with international frameworks. Participants will explore real-world scenarios, implement security policies, and learn how to assess and mitigate risks across public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.
By the end of the program, attendees will be able to build resilient cloud security architectures, respond to incidents, and align their strategies with global compliance requirements—ensuring both operational agility and data protection.
