Join us for this pay-what-you-can, hands-on, virtual workshop with Antisyphon Instructor, Beau Bullock as he provides a foundational understanding of cloud security, exploring essential concepts and practices for securing cloud environments.
Attendees will gain insight into core areas such as authentication, identity and access management (IAM), API access, common attack methods, misconfigurations, and security best practices. Practical labs will offer hands-on experience with industry-standard command line tools and automated scanners, helping participants understand and mitigate security risks in diverse cloud settings. Through the labs, attendees will apply cloud security tools and techniques to reinforce learning and develop practical skills.
