Hacking Cloud Infrastructure
Cut through the mystery of cloud services on our 2 day course.
This 2-day course cuts through the mystery of Cloud Services (including AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Azure) to uncover the vulnerabilities that lie beneath. We will cover a number of popular services and delve into both what makes them different, and what makes them the same, as compared to hacking and securing a traditional network infrastructure.
Note: Students will have access to a state-of-the-art Hacklab with a wide variety of vulnerabilities to practice exploitation and will receive a FREE 1 month subscription after the class to allow more practice time along with the support portal to clear doubts.
Highlights of our Training:
- Gaining Entry in cloud via exposed services
- Attacking specific cloud services
- Post Exploitation
- Defending the Cloud Environment
- Host base Defenses
- Auditing and benchmarking of Cloud
- Continuous Security Testing of Cloud

Course Overview
Whether you are an Architect, Developer, Pentester, Security or DevOps Engineer, or anyone with a need to understand and manage vulnerabilities in a Cloud environment, understanding relevant hacking techniques, and how to protect yourself from them, is critical. This class covers both the theory a well as a number of modern techniques that may be used to compromise various Cloud services and infrastructure.
Prior pentest/security experience is not a strict requirement, however, some knowledge of Cloud Services and familiarity with common Unix command-line syntax will be beneficial.
