🔐 Strengthening My AWS Security Knowledge with AWS Skill Builder ☁️
Explored AWS Skill Builder to strengthen my understanding of AWS Web & Cloud Security 🔐☁️. Learned about IAM, AWS WAF, AWS Shield, GuardDuty, Inspector, CloudTrail, encryption, vulnerability management, the Shared Responsibility Model, and security best practices for building secure and resilient cloud applications.
I’ve been exploring AWS Skill Builder to strengthen my understanding of cloud and web security, and it has been a great learning experience.
Through the learning modules, I’ve been diving deeper into how AWS protects applications, data, users, and infrastructure in the cloud.
Some of the key areas I explored include:
🔹 AWS Identity & Access Management (IAM)
Understanding users, roles, policies, permissions, and the principle of least privilege.

🔹 AWS Web Application Security
Learning how to protect web applications from common threats and attacks.

🔹 AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall)
Understanding how WAF helps filter malicious HTTP/HTTPS requests and protect applications from threats such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.

☁️ What I learned:
Cloud security isn't just about adding a firewall. It requires multiple layers of protection — identity, network security, application security, data protection, monitoring, logging, and continuous threat detection.

I'm continuing to build my knowledge in Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, AWS, and AI/ML, while applying these concepts to the projects I'm building.
