More businesses than ever are moving sensitive data and shifting mission-critical workloads to the cloud, and not just to one cloud service provider (CSP). Something that is unclear to many, is that organizations are still responsible for securing their data and mission-critical applications in the cloud. The benefits in terms of cost and speed of leveraging a multi cloud platform to develop and accelerate delivery of business applications and analyze customer data can quickly be reversed if security professionals are not properly trained to secure the organization's cloud environment and investigate and respond to the inevitable security breaches. New technologies introduce new risks. SANS SEC488: Cloud Security Essentials, our foundational cloud security training course, helps your organization successfully navigate both the security challenges and opportunities presented by cloud services. It incorporates 20 Hands-on Labs, CloudWars Capstone Challenge, and a challenge coin for the winning team.

About the Speaker | Course Author
Ryan Nicholson's passion for information technology started in 2001 when he found himself constantly trying to make his high school's computers and even calculators do things that they weren't exactly intended to do. They lacked games, so he learned how to create some. Yes, some may call this hacking. Ryan called it "fun", which led to attending college with intentions of becoming a software engineer. During school, Ryan obtained an internship with a very cybersecurity-minded organization -- the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). Ever since then, he’s been hooked on cybersecurity. Ryan is the author for SEC488: Cloud Security Essentials, and co-author of SEC541: Cloud Security Attacker Techniques, Monitoring, and Threat Detection.
