04 Verify

Capture certificate URL, badge, expiry, renewal plan, and portfolio proof after the learner passes.

Study plan

Start with identity, logging, asset inventory, and data exposure because most cloud incidents leave evidence there.

Practise turning raw logs into detections, triage steps, containment actions, and recovery evidence.

Build security operations habits around least privilege, secret rotation, vulnerability prioritization, response runbooks, and post-incident learning.

Hands-on labs

Write a detection rule and triage runbook for suspicious console login or impossible travel.

Create an incident response playbook for leaked cloud access keys with containment, rotation, audit, and recovery steps.

Design a Zero Trust access model for administrators, developers, CI/CD, auditors, and break-glass accounts.

Build a cloud posture checklist for public storage, open ports, broad IAM, missing logs, unencrypted data, and stale secrets.

Practice questions

Why is cloud logging foundational for security operations?

Logs provide the evidence needed to detect suspicious activity, investigate scope, prove containment, support audit, and improve controls after an incident.

What should happen first when a cloud access key is leaked?

Contain the risk by disabling or rotating the key, then investigate usage, revoke exposed permissions, check affected resources, and document recovery evidence.
