#Security
1. Analyze cloud shared-responsibility models and threat landscapes across AWS, Azure, and GCP to prioritize controls using STRIDE and MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud aligned with NIST SP 800-53 and CIS Benchmarks.
Lernziele:
1. Compare provider-specific shared-responsibility matrices for IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, delineating customer versus provider control ownership for at least three control families.
2. Perform threat modeling on a given cloud workload using STRIDE, identifying assets, trust boundaries, threats, and mitigations with explicit assumptions.
3. Map identified threats to relevant MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud techniques and propose specific detections and preventive controls for each technique.
4. Prioritize risk treatments using a quantitative or semi-quantitative scoring method and align proposed controls to NIST SP 800-53 and CIS Benchmarks.
5. Document risk acceptance, transfer, and mitigation decisions with rationale, residual risk, and required monitoring artifacts.
2. Implement least-privilege and Zero Trust identity and access management using AWS IAM, Microsoft Entra ID/Azure RBAC, and GCP IAM with MFA, conditional access, and federation via OAuth 2.0/OIDC/SAML.
Lernziele:
1. Create role- and attribute-based access policies in IAM services enforcing least privilege; validate with AWS IAM Access Analyzer/Policy Simulator, Azure PIM/Access Reviews, or GCP Policy Analyzer.
2. Configure SSO federation between an identity provider (e.g., Entra ID) and AWS/GCP using OIDC/SAML; verify role assumption and scoped session duration with audit logs.
3. Enforce MFA and conditional access for privileged roles; test break-glass accounts and document recovery procedures.
4. Rotate and manage credentials and secrets using AWS Secrets Manager or Azure Key Vault or HashiCorp Vault; implement audit trails and alert on anomalous secret access.
