Cloud Security Engineer Prep
About Course
Cloud Security Engineer Prep is the hands-on, two-sided Cloud Security II course: you exploit real, seeded cloud misconfigurations in an isolated lab — over-permissioned roles, exposed keys, storage exposure, the metadata/SSRF credential-theft chain, and service-to-service pivots — then remediate each one and prove it closed. You finish by producing a full cloud security assessment report that lands on your Chrysalus profile for employers. Includes Cloud+ (CV0-004) exam prep and a Cloud+ Cert Challenge. Aligned with DoD 8140 work role 652 Security Architect (Intermediate). All scenarios are fictional; every command runs only in your isolated lab pod.
