Zero Trust Security & Cloud Compliance Automation – Online Course
Zero Trust Security & Cloud Compliance Automation is a specialized, advanced-level course designed for security engineers, cloud architects, compliance officers, and DevSecOps professionals. As digital threats evolve and cloud infrastructures expand, organizations must rethink their approach to security and compliance—Zero Trust and automation are the new mandates.
What is Zero Trust?
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity framework that operates on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” It assumes no user, system, or service—whether inside or outside the network—should be inherently trusted. Instead, access is granted only after strict identity verification, continuous monitoring, and policy enforcement.
Zero Trust is a cybersecurity framework that operates on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” It assumes no user, system, or service—whether inside or outside the network—should be inherently trusted. Instead, access is granted only after strict identity verification, continuous monitoring, and policy enforcement.
How does this relate to cloud compliance automation?
With cloud environments introducing complexity and scale, manually managing compliance is no longer feasible. Compliance automation uses policy-as-code, monitoring tools, and workflow automation to maintain continuous compliance with standards like CIS, NIST, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001—even across hybrid and multi-cloud ecosystems.

Compliance automation uses policy-as-code, monitoring tools, and workflow automation to maintain continuous compliance with standards like CIS, NIST, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001—even across hybrid and multi-cloud ecosystems.
This course covers the principles, architecture, tooling, and real-world implementation of Zero Trust and automated compliance, enabling learners to build secure, auditable, and scalable systems.
How to Use This Course
- Begin by understanding Zero Trust fundamentals and cloud security models.
- Learn to architect identity-aware, policy-driven, microsegmented systems using tools like Okta, Azure AD, AWS IAM, BeyondCorp, and Kubernetes RBAC.
- Dive into compliance automation platforms such as Prisma Cloud, Wiz, Lacework, Conftest, Open Policy Agent (OPA), and HashiCorp Sentinel.
- Apply your learning to automate auditing, risk analysis, policy enforcement, and security controls across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
- Use the capstone project to build a Zero Trust-compliant cloud system with real-time compliance dashboards.
This course is ideal for professionals working in regulated industries or securing critical infrastructure and enterprise cloud environments.
