This course is sold as self-paced study, but yes — we also deliver it live.

PECB expects a solid foundation in core IT and networking concepts — familiarity with command-line operations, TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, and general system administration. This is the most technically demanding entry requirement of any course in the catalogue, so it is not a starting point for someone new to IT.
Five competency domains: cloud security fundamentals, governance and compliance; identity and access management and cloud data security; cloud threat detection, lateral movement and attack isolation; cloud security monitoring and log management; and container security with Docker and Kubernetes.
There are two tiers rather than the usual four. Provisional Analyst requires no experience. Analyst requires five years of professional experience with two in cloud security, plus at least 300 hours of cloud security project activities. Both require signing the PECB Code of Ethics.
