Cloud misconfigurations Incident Handling

📊 Level: Beginner
⏱️ Duration: 2 Days
🏷️ Track: Cloud Security
📋 Prerequisites: None
🖥️ Mode: Online Instructor-Led
📝 Course Description

RCCE students will learn cloud and infrastructure misconfiguration detection, prevention, and remediation including CSPM deployment, configuration baseline management, and automated remediation. RCCE students will learn to identify common misconfigurations across cloud platforms including public S3 buckets, overly permissive security groups, unencrypted data stores, and misconfigured identity policies, deploy cloud security posture management tools, establish configuration baselines and detect drift, implement automated remediation for critical misconfigurations, prioritize misconfiguration findings by exploitability and business impact, and build organizational processes that prevent misconfigurations from reaching production. This incident response course prepares students to act decisively during security incidents with structured workflows and clear decision frameworks. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn containment, evidence collection, eradication, and recovery procedures specific to this domain. Students practice incident scenarios that build the composure, coordination, and documentation skills essential for effective incident handling.
