Cloud Security training plan
The main challenges on the journey to the cloud are not technical, one of the most important challenges is training.
It is a key success factor that your analysts know about the infrastructure they need to protect.

I also invite you to visit the Webinars section where you can see deeper videos on different AWS Cloud Security topics.
Security Awareness Training
Finally, beside the cloud security training, ensure that ALL employees in your company go thru a Security Awareness Training periodically to ensure that they are aware of how adversaries operate, and not to disclose any sensitive information, or doing insecure tasks like sharing passwords or using unsecure communications channels.
Amazon provides it’s own Cybersecurity Awareness training for FREE, and it’s available in multiple languages.
