Cloud Security Fundamentals
Why cloud breaches actually happen — and how to not be one: the shared-responsibility model applied per service type, identity as the control plane, misconfiguration classes, logging foundations, and encryption options — grounded in anonymised patterns from real cloud incidents.

Roles this course serves
This course is authored to band B2.
Every course we run is written to one rung of the CASI ladder, so a plan can be assembled to take a team from where they are to where they need to be.
What do B1–B6 mean?The CASI Capability Ladder — click to expand
Every course targets a band on the CASI Capability Ladder — our six-band proficiency scale, anchored to open standards (O*NET, ESCO, NICE, NIST AI RMF, Bloom's). A band tells you how deep a course goes, and what evidence proves it.
A note on B6. Courses in this catalog target B1–B5. B6 is not taught — it is recognised, through a portfolio and a panel, once someone is setting direction for others. Every journey here is built to land a learner at B5.
