This course provides delegates with a practical understanding of securing software deployed into cloud environments including understanding of the issues and opportunities presented by serverless solutions.

In this new world attackers have moved with the times, shifting focus more than ever on finding vulnerabilities in your applications and cloud implementations rather than vulnerabilities in your infrastructure.

The course builds on our Internet Security course, but is designed for anyone building applications natively for the cloud (developers, architects, DevOps and DevSecOps).


About The Trainer

Simon Whittaker has been providing security services & training to both local organisations and some of the world’s largest companies for over 10 years.

Simon’s background in both development & System/Network Administration provides a great view on how best to compromise and secure required services & applications while also ensuring that training courses, content & practicals can be aimed at the right audiences.
