Cloud Security Training for Software Developers
 
Course Description
Cloud Security Training for Software Developers is a comprehensive, hands-on program designed to teach developers how to build and maintain secure applications in modern cloud environments. This course focuses on practical skills—secure coding, API protection, identity management, DevSecOps automation, and cloud-native security controls—to help developers design resilient applications and prevent real-world threats.
 
You’ll learn how to integrate security throughout the entire development lifecycle, use cloud platform security services effectively, detect and remediate vulnerabilities, and implement secure architectural patterns across microservices, serverless applications, and containerized workloads. With practical labs and real-world examples, this course empowers you to confidently ship secure software in any cloud environment.
