As agencies move workloads to the cloud, the whole workforce needs a working understanding of how cloud security differs from traditional on-premises security. This foundational course covers cloud service models, the role FedRAMP plays in federal cloud governance, and the shared responsibility model that divides security duties between the cloud provider and the agency. 

Learners cover identity and data protection, secure configuration, vulnerability management, and cloud monitoring and incident reporting, ending with a capstone that evaluates a federal cloud service.
