Course wrap-up

1. Course wrap-up

Awesome work. You’ve made it to the end of this course. I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about risk management strategies and frameworks in the cloud. My favorite part of working in cloud security is learning about the new and novel ways attackers gain unauthorized access to resources and systems. Identifying these threat vectors and creating detections or solutions to mitigate the threat is what gets me out of bed in the morning. My advice, dig into a specific topic, explore it until you reach a stopping point, build a solution to highlight your learning, and then show it off on the internet. Maintaining a portfolio of simple to complex projects is a highly valuable tool in showcasing your individual journey. Let’s think back on everything you learned in this course. You started by exploring a general overview of security domains, policies, controls, and compliance. You learned about risk, security, and compliance and investigated the relationship between the three areas of compliance: people, process, and technology. You also practiced implementing security controls based on scenarios. Next, you explored risk management frameworks, laws, regulations, and industry standards. You also compared and contrasted data privacy and data protection. Then, you got a comprehensive overview of the compliance lifecycle. You explored controls and control mapping, assessments and auditing, negative organizational impacts of noncompliance, and policy as code, or PaC, and infrastructure as code, or IaC. Finally, you built on your knowledge of risk and vulnerability frameworks to explore multicloud cloud security posture management. You also learned about key cloud tools and their uses for risk and compliance, and about cloud organizational policies and controls. You now have a solid foundation in risk management, which will be important as you secure your cloud. Congratulations on finishing this course! I’m excited for your next steps!
