What you'll learn

As organizations scale their cloud investments, they face a growing web of security risks, regulatory requirements, and sovereignty constraints — often without a structured way to evaluate them. In this course, Managing Cloud Risk, Compliance, and Sovereignty, you'll gain the ability to evaluate governance and security risks associated with cloud adoption and assess regulatory and sovereignty considerations in cloud strategy. First, you'll explore the shared responsibility model between cloud providers and customers and identify common security concerns. Next, you'll discover how governance mechanisms like policy-as-code and cloud centers of excellence help organizations manage cloud resources and policies. Finally, you'll learn how to recognize regulatory pressures influencing cloud adoption in regulated industries, identify data residency and sovereignty requirements, and evaluate vendor dependency when selecting cloud platforms. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the knowledge and vocabulary of cloud risk management needed to collaborate effectively with security teams, legal stakeholders, and engineering leadership to balance innovation with operational and regulatory risk.
