What makes this course different
Production quality: We've been developing cloud and security training material for over 7 years and have taught hundreds of thousands of IT professionals all the way from individuals to Fortune 500 companies. Our production quality is top-notch and not only reflects expert experience but focuses on building practical skills with interactive diagrams, realistic lab scenarios, and other interactive elements.
Interactive Diagrams: Concepts can be really boring to learn, especially when it's just someone reading slides. That's not what you get from this course. We've developed interactive diagrams that you can interact with as you're learning. That way, as we're discussing concepts or as we're deploying resources in the AWS cloud, you can visualize exactly what's going on side-by-side.
Scenario-based: From the very beginning of the course, we set up a realistic and sample AWS multi-tier architecture, which we then evaluate from a security perspective to understand potential attack vectors. The rest of the course centers around this architecture and those security concerns so that we can learn how to properly defend our AWS resources, just as we would on the job as cloud security professionals.
Hands-On and Lab-based: Every practical step we take in the course can be completed in your very own AWS account, and we will be adding actual lab scenarios for you to complete. Most if not all of them can be done for free using the AWS free tier. We inform you beforehand if there are any resources that will cost money so you can decide whether you want to complete those labs/steps or not.

FAQ
"Is this course practical or just conceptual?"
This course includes both practical and conceptual. Because it's an introductory-level course, you need to learn important concepts before jumping in and doing, but we're firm believers in practical learning and we include both demos that walk you through-by-step and Lab Challenges where you complete realistic scenarios you could expect to see on the job.
"Do IÂ need to have AWSÂ experience before enrolling"
Short answer:Â Yes. Longer answer: This is a course designed for beginners, but if you've never logged into AWSÂ before, you won't be able to follow what's going on unless you have prior ITÂ experience and/or experience with Azure/GCP.
"Do IÂ need prior cybersecurity experience before enrolling?"
While that would be helpful, it's not required. For example, if you are a developer using AWSÂ to ship applications, you will get a lot of value from this course even though you are not a cybersec expert.

This course was created, developed, and published in collaboration between Konstantinos Papapanagiotou and Christophe Limpalair.
Kostas is a Cyber Security Consultant with over 19 years of security and IT consulting and research experience. Heâ€™s also been a volunteer for the OWASP nonprofit organization for over 17 years and is an OWASP Chapter Leader in Greece.
Christophe is the founder and an author at Cybr, where heâ€™s published many courses on topics of ethical hacking. You may also know him from Linux Academy / ACloudGuru, where he taught multiple AWS courses including associate and professional-level AWS certification courses, and helped tens of thousands of learners get certified. He also helped pioneer, develop, maintain, and secure Linux Academyâ€™s cloud Hands-On Labs and Assessments technology which ran on a $1M budget on AWS and which required defense against malicious actors frequently trying to crypto mine and to launch attacks using our resources.
Between Kostas and Christophe, the authors have years of experience working in AWS and building as well as securing production environments. They share that experience in this course to help you get started learning how to secure AWS resources and environments.

Instructor's Courses

After writing his first lines of code at the age of 11, Christophe developed a passion for technology. Frustrated with the state & cost of education, he spent the last few years training individuals and organizations (SMB & F500) on how to use the cloud by pioneering hands-on training technologies. After his journey of building two successful IT businesses to acquisition in the last six years, he realized that most struggle with building secure software, so he co-founded Cybr to help make the world a more secure place through community and training.
