Cloud Security Expert, Dave Shackleford, to Teach his New Cloud Security Architecture and Operations Course at SANS San Francisco Security Training Event

BETHESDA, Md., July 12, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- SANS Institute, the global leader in information security training, today announced its new SEC545: Cloud Security Architecture and Operations course will be offered for the first time at SANS San Francisco Fall 2017 taking place September 5 - 10.  Cloud security expert and author/instructor of the SEC545 course, Dave Shackleford, will provide detailed insight into the tools, controls, and design models needed to properly secure the cloud during this five day immersion style training.

According to Shackleford, "Organizations of all types are moving data and workloads into the cloud, and this trend will only continue. Security teams need to understand the core design principles that can help these transitions proceed smoothly, without sacrificing hard-won security controls and processes we've developed over the years. SEC545 aims to educate students on everything from policy and contracts to security architecture and operations, with special emphasis on DevSecOps and automation. There are lots of practical hands-on exercises in AWS throughout the class, too, which will reinforce the lessons from class."
