Introduction to Course 1
1. Introduction to Course 1
Hey there! Welcome to the first stage of your cloud cybersecurity learning journey! In this course, you’ll explore essential security principles in cloud computing. You’ll get an overview of the security lifecycle and investigate Google Cloud tools, like the Google Cloud console and Cloud Shell. You’ll gain insight into DevSecOps, which stands for development, security, and operations. This methodology integrates security into the entire software development lifecycle. Along the way, you’ll discover how you can translate many of the skills you already have to the cloud security field. These transferable skills include problem-solving, analytical thinking, collaboration, and communication. One of my favorite things about this field is that as the cloud evolves, so do the ways in which its security can be compromised, which means I get to learn new things all the time. So let's get it started! In this section of the program, you’ll kick off with a general introduction to cloud computing and cloud infrastructure. Then, you’ll examine how virtualization, containers, and storage function in cloud computing. Next, you’ll deepen your defenses in the cloud using security controls, identity and access management, and networking practices. You’ll also discover how users and cloud service providers share security responsibilities in different cloud models, like infrastructure, software, and platform as a service. Then, you’ll check out automation in the security lifecycle. You’ll learn about teams and workflows, along with automation’s role in software pipelines and infrastructure as code. Plus, you’ll explore the software supply chain and the importance of securing it. To wrap up, you’ll explore the roles, responsibilities, skills, and tools of a cloud cybersecurity analyst. You’ll experience Google’s Cloud Shell and add lots of tech solutions to your cloud security toolbox. I’m here to help you every step of the way. And keep in mind: You set the pace. When you’re ready, head on over to the next topic.2. Let's practice!
