Instructor comments: Both instructors Mr. Askey and Mr. Hackney, were very good. the open learning environment was extremely productive and I felt we all learned far more that we ever would out of a structured rote memorization course.
User: natebonds
Instructor comments: Both Mr. Askey and Hackney were extremely knowledgeable. They were also extremely interested in helping each student learn. I was particularly impressed with the way they tailored the course to optimize our time since we weren't testing. I feel like I know much much more than I did when the class started.
Facilities comments: The facilities were fine. I would have preferred it be closer to Lackland.

Course Overview:
TechNow Cloud Security Fundamentals addresses the loss of hands-on control of system, application, and data security in the Cloud computing environment. Security teams wrestle with the impact and liability of Cloud computing on an organization. This course enables the security team to assist in contract language and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) when utilizing Cloud Service Providers (CSPs).
Compliance and auditing are introduced with strategies for control verification and audit analysis in the CSP environment. Software as a Service (SaaS) to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and everything in between require a compliance strategy. Students will go in-depth into the architecture and infrastructure fundamentals for private, public, and hybrid clouds. Topics covered include: patch and configuration management, virtualization security, application security, and change management. Policy, risk assessment, and governance within cloud environments will be covered with recommendations for both internal policies and contract provisions to consider.
