Cloud Security Architecture
Design and implement secure cloud infrastructures across AWS, Azure, and GCP with focus on compliance, IAM, and risk management frameworks.
Cloud Security Architecture teaches you to design infrastructure that is secure by default across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Over 38 hours you move from cloud fundamentals to the architectural patterns that keep regulated workloads safe at scale — the difference between a deployment that merely works and one that is genuinely defensible.
Who this course is for
It is built for cloud engineers, solutions architects, and security professionals moving into cloud roles. A basic familiarity with cloud concepts helps, but the course establishes the foundations before building to advanced design.
What you will be able to do
You will design identity and access models that enforce least privilege, segment networks for isolation, protect data with the right encryption and key-management strategy, and map your controls to recognised frameworks including ISO 27001 and the GDPR. Crucially, you will learn to reason about the shared-responsibility model so you always know which risks are yours to own.
How it is taught
Hands-on labs run on live cloud accounts so you build real muscle memory rather than memorising diagrams. The course closes with a capstone in which you design and defend a secure multi-tier architecture. The curriculum aligns with associate and professional cloud-security certification paths.
You leave able to make sound architectural decisions under real constraints, and to explain and justify them to engineering and compliance stakeholders alike.

Architecture capstone
Design and defend a secure multi-tier architecture on a live account.
Frequently asked questions
Which cloud provider does the course focus on?
All three major providers — AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The patterns are taught provider-agnostically first, then applied with provider-specific labs so the skills transfer anywhere.
Do I need an existing cloud certification?
No. This course complements certification paths rather than requiring one. Many students use it to prepare for associate or professional cloud-security exams.
Will this help with GDPR compliance in the cloud?
Yes. A full module covers mapping technical controls to GDPR and ISO 27001, which is especially relevant for organisations operating in Greece and the EU.
