You know how pretty much every company out there is using cloud services these days? It’s not just a trend—nowadays, that’s the new normal for how businesses run and manage their apps. But here's the thing: the more we rely on cloud tech, the trickier it gets to properly secure it all.
That’s where advanced security training comes into play. No more just checking compliance boxes. We need to build a strong security-minded culture within our dev teams from the ground up. AppSecEngineer is an advocate for multi-cloud security training. As an AppSec training platform, we want to take it up another notch.
These days, the business world is going all-in on cloud computing. Companies across the board—from healthcare companies to banks, retailers to government agencies—are shifting more and more of their digital operations to cloud platforms. But it’s not as simple as just storing data or running some apps remotely. Businesses are combining multiple cloud services to build systems that are flexible, resilient, and innovative in entirely new ways.
Having a multi-cloud environment is considered a strategic move to meet the complex digital needs modern businesses face. Mixing and matching services from AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and others help companies optimize operations, tap into specialized capabilities, and avoid being locked into any single vendor. This is how these companies are making sure that their tech stays agile and their operations keep humming.
Of course, with this incredible flexibility come challenges. As companies adopt a multi-cloud environment, managing and securing it has become an increasingly hairy problem. But it doesn’t stop at just the technical hurdles; they have to be strategic too. Cybersecurity teams suddenly found themselves on the frontlines, now tasked with securing these vast multi-cloud architectures against threats. And this is on top of staying compliant and keeping operations efficient.
Now, we have a tangled situation. And sophisticated security training is more important than before. Here at AppSecEngineer, with our hands-on, real-world approach, we help teams acquire the skills to secure multi-cloud environments and develop a proactive, resilient culture of security.
The 2019 Capital One data breach is a prime example of the very real risks that come with securing multi-cloud environments. In case you missed it, an improperly configured web firewall left the door wide open and exposed the sensitive personal data of over 100 million customers. It was a very costly mishap, and, at the same time, the Capital One data breach just proved to us the need for cybersecurity pros who really understand, at the granular level, the importance of juggling security across multiple cloud platforms.
These days, training people with those specific multi-cloud security skills is more important than before. Managing multi-cloud setups deals with different interfaces and configurations. You have to grasp the unique security models of each cloud provider and stitch them together into one cohesive, locked-down framework.
AppSecEngineer and our team of experts can zero in on the exact skills needed to tame multi-cloud complexity and equip cybersecurity teams with the knowledge and hands-on experience required to prevent breaches like what happened at Capital One. With a curriculum centered on real-world scenarios and practical exercises, this training guarantees that security teams aren't just reacting after the fact but proactively getting ahead of threats.
