1. Introduction to course 4

Hey there. You’re well on your way to becoming a cloud security wizard. Ready to explore the magic of cloud security? Me too. First, let me tell you a little bit about myself and how I stumbled into the captivating field of cloud security. I’m Seline and I’m a Security Engineer. Just like many of you, I didn't start my career in cloud security. In college, I studied computer science, where I focused on becoming a software engineer. It wasn't until after I completed an internship doing penetration testing that my plans changed. I discovered that cybersecurity was the career path I wanted to follow. I continued to grow my skill set by learning on my own, doing trainings and getting certifications, just like you're doing now. Moving forward, after different experiences and learnings, today I proudly wear the hat of a Security Engineer on Google’s red team, where our main role is to make hacking Google harder by hacking Google. Through simulating adversaries, we can identify and help fix security issues that attackers could exploit to achieve their goals. These exercises help test Google's detection and response capabilities, improving our resilience against real world attacks. Cloud cybersecurity is like solving exciting puzzles, but with real-world impact. It's a field where you can truly make a difference. Stick with me, and together, we'll explore the fascinating world of cloud cybersecurity. To help prepare you for a role as a cloud security professional, you’ll start with discussing the foundations of incident detection. Here, you'll learn about security operations teams and how they use logging, monitoring, and detection tools to manage security incidents and secure cloud environments. Next, you'll explore applied detection where you'll go in depth about how security teams use detection tools and techniques to promptly detect security attacks in the cloud. Here you'll explore Lockheed Martin’s Cyber Kill Chain®, monitoring tools, indicators of compromise, and threat hunting. Then, you'll explore incident response where you'll learn about the various processes and security tools involved in incident response. This includes how to preserve and document evidence, analyze alerts, and utilize automation. Finally, you'll end off by discussing incident recovery where you'll learn about how security teams recover after a security incident. Here, you'll focus on how organizations create business continuity and disaster recovery plans using considerations like recovery metrics. You'll also learn about the role of stakeholders in disaster recovery. When you’re ready to get started, join me in the next video.
