Cloud Security Essentials

Cloud Security Essentials (C|SE) is an entry-level cybersecurity course covering the foundational and essential aspects of cloud security — cloud computing principles, identity and access management, data protection and encryption, network security, application security, monitoring and incident response, risk assessment, and compliance and governance across AWS and Azure environments. The programme ships 10+ hours of self-paced video training across 8 modules, hands-on lab practical exercises in every module (24+ AWS / Azure / M365 lab tasks total), 900+ pages of e-courseware, and a Capstone Project with real-world challenges. Designed for school students, fresh graduates, career starters and switchers, IT and cybersecurity teams, system / cloud administrators, and engineers — no prior cybersecurity knowledge or IT work experience required. Successful candidates can sit the proctored 112-54 exam (75 multiple-choice questions, 2 hours) for the globally recognised C|SE credential.
