Applied Cryptography, PKI, & Cloud Security

Overview

Google, IBM & Meta Certificates — All 10,000+ Courses at 40% Off

One annual plan covers every course and certificate on Coursera. 40% off for a limited time.

This course covers advanced cryptographic protocols, public key infrastructure, and cloud and virtualization security, three interconnected areas that define how modern IT environments protect data and identity. Covering approximately 4.5 hours of expert instruction, learners develop the skills to implement applied cryptography, manage PKI infrastructure, and secure cloud workloads and virtual environments. Learners benefit by understanding TLS, IPSec, and key management solutions, how to configure and validate digital certificates, how to apply the shared responsibility model, and how to secure IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments and hypervisor infrastructure. Online labs reinforce certificate management and cloud security configuration tasks. By the end of this course, learners will be able to implement advanced cryptographic solutions, manage a PKI environment, and apply security controls to cloud and virtual infrastructures.
