Cloud Security Architecture for the Enterprise is a comprehensive training program designed to help security professionals, cloud architects, and IT leaders design resilient, risk-aligned, and scalable security architectures for modern cloud environments. Led by cybersecurity expert Carl Oates, this course focuses on the foundational principles, frameworks, and architectural strategies needed to secure cloud ecosystems—without relying on any single vendor or platform.
Rather than walking through vendor-specific configurations, the course emphasizes universal cloud security architecture concepts, helping you understand what must be included in a secure design and why these components are essential. You’ll learn how to evaluate cloud security frameworks, translate on-premises security controls into cloud-native models, build custom shared responsibility and accountability structures, and develop a security architecture capable of supporting your organization’s compliance, governance, and operational needs.
By the end of the course, you will be ready to design cloud security architecture that is robust, adaptable, and aligned with enterprise risk and governance requirements.
