Cloud Security for Financial Services

Financial services today are increasingly enabled by cloud technologies, and this trend isn’t likely to change. That means that if you’re an IT or security professional, the need to secure financial services is becoming more important in your role every day. In this course, instructor Emmanuel Chebukati covers the essential skills that fintech providers and IT pros need to consider to protect their networks, applications, and customer data. Get hands-on practical experience in a simulated hybrid cloud environment of a typical financial firm, using it to build out network infrastructure, storage capabilities, and application security layers, and ultimately developing a baseline cloud security posture that you can apply to organizations in the real world. By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to review your firm’s own cloud security posture and make recommendations for improvement and future growth.
