Overview

Off the shelf (OTS)

More businesses than ever are moving sensitive data and shifting mission-critical workloads to the cloud and not just to one cloud service provider (CSP). Organisations are responsible for securing their data and mission-critical applications in the cloud. The benefits in terms of cost and speed of leveraging a multicloud platform to develop and accelerate delivery of business applications and analyse customer data can quickly be reversed if security professionals are not properly trained to secure the organisation's cloud environment and investigate and respond to the inevitable security breaches. New technologies introduce new risks. Help your organisation successfully navigate both the security challenges and opportunities presented by cloud services. 20 Hands-on Labs + CloudWars CTF
