FAQ

What specific qualifications or prerequisites are needed for participants before enrolling in the course?

A basic understanding of cloud computing and IT security is recommended. Prior exposure to AWS, Azure, or GCP will help but is not mandatory, as the course is structured to guide both intermediate and experienced professionals.

How long is each day's session, and is there a total number of hours required for the entire course?

Each day's session is generally structured to last around 4–5 hours, with breaks and interactive activities included. The total course duration spans five days, approximately 20–25 hours of instruction.

How does Zero Trust differ from traditional cloud perimeter security?

Traditional perimeter security assumes a trusted internal network. Zero Trust cloud security frameworks enforce continuous authentication, least privilege, and verification of every request, even inside the network, making them essential for secure cloud architecture design.
