Cloud logging Architecture Patterns
RCCE students will learn cloud-native logging services and security monitoring including AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs, GCP Cloud Audit Logs, cloud storage logging, and cloud log analysis. RCCE students will learn to enable and configure comprehensive cloud logging across AWS, Azure, and GCP, centralize cloud logs for security analysis, parse and normalize cloud log formats, detect security-relevant events including unauthorized API calls, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and configuration changes, build automated alerting for critical cloud events, manage cloud log retention and storage costs, and use cloud logs for forensic investigation of cloud security incidents. This architecture course teaches secure system design using proven patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to evaluate design options against security requirements, make informed trade-off decisions, and build systems that are resilient by design. Students gain the architectural thinking skills needed for security engineering and solution design roles.
