More about this course
  • This course introduces you to cybersecurity for the cloud. We'll learn and apply classic security techniques to today?s cloud security problems. We start with a deceptively simple and secure web service and address the problems arising as we improve it. We?ll analyze recent cloud security vulnerabilities using standard, systematic techniques. We?ll build our own web service case studies and construct security solutions for them. Our toolkit contains classic security concepts like Least Privilege and Separation of Duty, as well as more technical cryptographic and access control techniques.
