This practical seminar introduces students to the field of cloud security through a combination of lecture input, hands-on exercises, and a practical group project. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of cloud security architectures, data protection regulations, identity and access management, secure DevOps, and current trends and challenges. The seminar places particular emphasis on the practical application of security techniques and tools to secure cloud applications. The practical seminar enables students to apply and deepen their theoretical knowledge in a real-life scenario.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the module, the student will:
- understand basic concepts and principles of IT and cloud security,
- evaluate different security architectures for cloud applications,
- recognize and evaluate security risks in cloud environments with regard to
compliance, data protection and legal aspects, - analyze security risks in cloud environments,
- apply techniques and best practices to secure applications,
- develop a practical security project with a code artifact,
- present technical concepts and solutions effectively as part of a group project.
Additional Information
- No particular programming language is required - students will be able to use different languages for programming within the course and can choose the one they prefer (e.g. C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, .NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, Rust, Swift).
