Cloud security training: data security and data protection despite automation

Increasing networking increases the need to protect important data from cyber threats and malicious activities. Cloud security encompasses a wide range of technologies, guidelines and applications for this purpose. This is because conventional IT protection measures quickly reach their limits in the cloud environment - regardless of whether it is operated on-premises (self-operated) or with hosting. However, there are modern methods that offer sufficient protection against current threats and still allow the flexibility and scalability of the cloud.

Cloud security training provides knowledge about the correct structure of cloud security concepts, the solid foundation as well as an overview of current security threats and possible solutions. Cloud security training can include the following topics:

  • Introduction
  • Setting up a cloud data center from a security perspective
  • Cloud concepts and architectures
  • Cloud computing technologies
  • Legal and compliance when using cloud services
  • Data protection according to DSG and DSGVO
  • Selection, control and monitoring of cloud operators
  • Technical, contractual and organizational security aspects in the cloud
  • ISO standards in the area of cloud security
  • Network Security
  • Hardware and software firewalls
  • Security concepts with SDN
  • Virtualization Security
  • Hypervisor Security
  • Design examples with VMware and OpenStack
  • Workplace Security
  • Identity and access management
  • Business Continuity Management
  • Risk management
  • Inventory and classification of processing procedures and information
  • Information processing in the cloud
  • Technical safety measures
  • Case studies and procedural concepts from and for practice

The cloud security courses are aimed at technicians and presales staff or other people who are involved in setting up cloud security. Depending on the course, basic network and IT knowledge as well as knowledge of basic cloud terms are required. Graduates are familiar with the necessary measures for data security and data protection in cloud infrastructures.
