From the course: AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01) Cert Prep: 2 Security

Security domain

- [Instructor] There are four domains in the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam. They are cloud concepts, security, technology, and billing and pricing. The four courses in the Introduction to AWS for Non-Engineers series follow these four domains. This course that you are watching now covers the second domain, the security domain, because securing the cloud by keeping your AWS Cloud infrastructure safe from both internal and external exploits is extremely important. The security domain is well worth your time to investigate. There are four major points AWS wants you to be comfortable with before taking a Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam. They want you to define the AWS shared responsibility model and AWS Cloud security and compliance concepts. They also want you to identify AWS access management capabilities and also be able to identify resources for receiving security related support. We will review different security related concepts, like the shared responsibility model, security pillar of the well-architected framework, principle of least privilege, and AWS Cloud compliance. Ever wonder what it means to quote/unquote secure the cloud? We will also talk about what it means to secure the cloud, which could be a little different or similar to securing your on-premises IT infrastructure in a data center. In addition, we will review some major security related AWS services, like AWS Identity Access Management or IAM, AWS Web Application Firewall, or WAF, and AWS Trusted Advisor amongst other core security services. We'll provide study breaks and exam study tips so you can begin preparing for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam security domain. Ready to get started? Let's go.
