Vulnerability Management in AWS
Teach engineers how to proactively identify and remediate cloud vulnerabilities using AWS-native security services. This path covers scanning with Amazon Inspector, consolidating findings in AWS Amazon Security Hub, and automating patching through AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager. Engineers shift from reactive ad-hoc fixes to a streamlined, continuous VM workflow.

Essentials
This section introduces the foundational services and workflows that drive vulnerability management in AWS. Learners configure Amazon Inspector to scan compute resources for known CVEs, funnel those findings into Amazon Security Hub for triage, and begin setting up the prerequisites for automated patching. Each course builds technical and operational confidence to help shift from reactive practices to a proactive, risk-informed remediation strategy using AWS-native tools.

What You'll Learn
- 1. Understand how to operationalize Amazon Inspector to continuously scan AWS workloads—including EC2, Lambda, and container images—for known vulnerabilities without needing to manage a separate scanning engine.
- 2. Learn how to triage vulnerability findings using Amazon Security Hub by applying practical prioritization strategies that align with business risk and remediation capacity.
- 3. Build the skills to automate patch deployment using AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager and produce organization-wide compliance reporting to support continuous improvement in cloud security posture.
- You’ve deployed workloads and configured infrastructure in AWS. You know how to build VPCs, launch EC2 instances, and write IAM policies—but you’ve never owned full security operations. This curriculum assumes AWS fluency and introduces hands-on, action-driven workflows to transform you into a confident, security-savvy engineer.
