Cloud Security Governance and Threat Modeling

About this course

Cloud security isn’t just about tools—it’s about the decisions that guide them. Cloud Security Governance & Threat Modeling takes you into the world where strategy meets risk, showing how teams secure cloud environments before an attack occurs. You’ll start with cloud governance: defining roles, measuring risk, managing data, building IR policies, setting usage guidelines, optimizing costs with FinOps, and using monitoring tools to maintain visibility. Then you’ll step into the attacker’s perspective through cloud threat modeling. Learn STRIDE, threat taxonomy, and prioritization to evaluate weaknesses, and deepen your insight with threat intelligence—IOCs, threat feeds, MITRE ATT&CK, and threat hunting. Next, explore automation with CSPM, SOAR, and CI/CD security, turning governance into continuous protection. Designed for cloud security beginners, analysts, and engineers, this course helps you think, design, and lead like a cloud security strategist.

What you will learn

• Build strong cloud governance by defining roles, managing risk, securing data, setting IR policies, andoptimizingcloud costs using FinOps practices.
• Apply threat modeling using STRIDE, threat taxonomy, and prioritization techniques toidentifycloud vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.
• Use threat intelligence with IOCs, MITRE ATT&CK, threat feeds, and hunting techniques to detect emerging cloud attack patterns early.
• Automate security using CSPM, SOAR, and CI/CD security controls while preparing for certifications with mock tests and capstone projects.
