The Cloud Security course provides comprehensive coverage of cloud security controls, mechanisms, practices and architecture models. It explores implementation, configuration and combination of cloud security technologies for establishing a cloud security architecture. The course further emphasizes applying cloud security mechanisms to establish sophisticated, custom security controls to prevent and respond to common threats and attacks.
Complete the Cloud Security course and, optionally, get accredited as a Certified Cloud Security Specialist by passing the certification exam. You can purchase the course now and get the exam later, or you can get them together at a discount as part of the Certification Bundle.
Upon completing the course you will receive a digital certificate of completion, as well as a digital training badge from Acclaim/Credly. Because this course encompasses both the Cloud Professional and Cloud Security Specialist certifications, upon passing the exam you will also receive official Cloud Professional and Cloud Security Specialist digital accreditation certificates and certification badges from Acclaim/Credly, along with an account that can be used to verify your certification status.
If you already completed the Cloud Professional course modules, you can purchase a partial course (or a partial bundle) with only the modules specific to the Cloud Security Specialist track here.
Choose the Certification Bundle to receive the entire course together with the online-proctored certification exam and a set of practice exam questions, all at a bundle discount.

Upon purchasing this course, you will automatically receive access via the Online Interactive eLearning platform. To provide you with the greatest flexibility, you will also have the option to access the course materials via two additional eLearning formats, at no extra cost. All three eLearning formats are briefly described below. A more detailed comparison can be found here.
- For everyday learning: An online interactive eLearning platform with individual lessons, as well as interactive and automatically graded exercises and practice questions.
- For learning on-the-go: A study kit platform with access to full course documents that support online/offline synching, annotations, comments, custom bookmarks and cross-document searches.
- For your reference: A set of printable watermarked PDF documents that you can keep (for all course workbooks and posters).
All three forms of access are subject to Arcitura’s *.
Upon purchase, access to the online interactive eLearning platform (1) is provided within one business day. Access to the study kits (2) and the PDF documents (3) is provided upon request.
The course is comprised of a set of modules. Each module has a set of lessons and is further supplemented with exercises to help reinforce your understanding of key topics. Shown below are the digital contents and the topic outline for each course module:
Module 1: Fundamental Cloud Computing
This course module provides end-to-end coverage of fundamental cloud computing topics as they pertain to both technology and business considerations. The module content is divided into a series of modular sections, each of which is accompanied by one or more hands-on exercises.
