Access Control, Cloud Security and Penetration Testing

What you’ll learn:
Learn about access control mechanisms, such as access control lists (ACLs), authentication, authorization, and accountability.
Understand the objectives, methodologies, and tools used in penetration testing to assess the security posture of systems and networks.
Learn about penetration testing phases, including reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, and post-exploitation.
Develop practical skills in conducting penetration tests, identifying vulnerabilities, and recommending remediation measures.

Requirements:
Participants should have a foundational understanding of cybersecurity concepts, including basic knowledge of networking, operating systems, and information security principles. Familiarity with access control concepts, cloud computing fundamentals, and penetration testing methodologies may be beneficial but is not required.

Description:
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of access control mechanisms, cloud security principles, and penetration testing methodologies in the field of cybersecurity. Participants will delve into the concepts, techniques, and best practices associated with controlling access to information systems, securing cloud environments, and conducting penetration tests to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities. Through a combination of theoretical lectures, hands-on labs, and real-world simulations, learners will develop the knowledge and skills necessary to design, implement, and assess access control measures, cloud security configurations, and penetration testing strategies.Course Objectives:Understand the principles of access control and its importance in safeguarding information systems and resources.Explore access control models, including discretionary access control (DAC), mandatory access control (MAC), and role-based access control (RBAC).Learn about access control mechanisms, such as access control lists (ACLs), authentication, authorization, and accountability.Gain insights into cloud computing fundamentals, cloud service models, and cloud deployment models.Discover best practices for securing cloud environments, including identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and network security.Understand the objectives, methodologies, and tools used in penetration testing to assess the security posture of systems and networks.Learn about penetration testing phases, including reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, and post-exploitation.Develop practical skills in conducting penetration tests, identifying vulnerabilities, and recommending remediation measures.Upon completion of this course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively implement access control measures, secure cloud environments, and conduct penetration tests to assess and enhance the security posture of information systems and networks.
