AMA13 – AWS Security Governance at Scale
AMA13 - AWS Security Governance at Scale
Course description
Security is foundational to AWS. Governance at scale is a new concept for automating cloud governance
that can help companies retire manual processes in account management, budget enforcement, and
security and compliance. By automating common challenges, companies can scale without inhibiting
agility, speed, or innovation. In addition, they can provide decision makers with the visibility, control, and
governance necessary to protect sensitive data and systems.
In this course, you will learn how to facilitate developer speed and agility, and incorporate preventive and
detective controls. By the end of this course, you will be able to apply governance best practices.
