Explore how to secure applications in the cloud, including training and awareness, assurance and validation, the secure software development lifecycle (SDLC), federated services, single sign-on (SSO), and advanced managed services from cloud providers, in this 8-video course. Begin by learning to define training and awareness in application security, and then learn about cloud software assurance and validation. The next tutorial concerns using verified secure software, focusing on two methodologies for security testing or application security testing (AST), in your organization. You will then learn about applying the secure software development lifecycle. You will take a look at comparing cloud application architectures, which includes the five key steps to building a secure cloud-ready application. You will discover federation and SSO solutions, and finally, observe how to compare advanced cloud security products. In the concluding exercise, you are asked to list methods of creating security awareness, methods for enhancing application security in the cloud, and the steps of successful software validation.
