Cloud Security and Risk Management for Enterprises

South African organisations increasingly host core systems on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, often before security controls catch up. This course equips IT and risk teams to assess cloud configurations, close common misconfiguration gaps, and manage vendor risk across multi cloud environments. Participants work through real breach scenarios drawn from regional banking, retail and telecom incidents to build practical, defensible cloud security practices.
