Masterclass Ep. 2 — Unit 2: The foundational architecture principles underlying every AWS service — compute, storage, networking — traced from physical hardware up through the hypervisor and into the cloud control plane.
Masterclass Ep. 1 — Unit 1: How abstraction layers transform bare-metal servers into the elastic, multi-tenant cloud — and what that means for forensics, incident response, and your security perimeter.
Introduces a dual-vector approach to cloud forensic investigation combining infrastructure telemetry with application-layer evidence. Covers cloud IR workflows, volatile evidence collection, storage forensics, and cross-provider investigation challenges.
Examines how enterprise organisations structure cloud security using industry frameworks such as CSA CCM, NIST and ISO 27017. Covers control layers, governance models, and how to map security responsibilities across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
Explores how data persists, moves, and survives across cloud storage systems and the security implications of that persistence. Covers data lifecycle management, encryption at rest and in transit, residual data risks, and data sovereignty.
Covers immutable logging strategies, SIEM integration in cloud environments, and how to build automated governance pipelines. Discusses CloudTrail, log tampering prevention, policy-as-code, and continuous compliance automation.
A deep-dive masterclass on building resilient cloud security architecture. Covers sentinel patterns, layered defence design, and how to architect systems that detect and contain threats before they propagate across cloud environments.
Ground-up cloud architecture — from bare-metal provisioning through IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS to AWS-specific constructs. Covers VPCs, IAM fundamentals, regions, availability zones, and the security implications of each architectural decision.
The cloud attack kill chain from initial access through privilege escalation to persistence. Deep dive into IAM misconfigurations, credential theft, token hijacking, and lateral movement in AWS environments — with defender perspective throughout.
From physical hardware to cloud infrastructure: how abstraction layers (bare-metal, hypervisor, container, serverless) change the forensic surface. Covers cloud architecture fundamentals, virtualisation, and what evidence looks like at each layer.
