Course Description

The AWS Cloud Penetration Testing course is designed to equip cybersecurity professionals, cloud engineers, and security analysts with the hands-on skills required to identify, exploit, and remediate vulnerabilities in Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments. As businesses rapidly migrate to the cloud, securing AWS infrastructures has become a mission-critical priority. This course offers a comprehensive, practical, and industry-aligned approach to offensive security in the cloud, ensuring learners understand how real-world attacks are executed and how to defend against them.

Through in-depth modules, you will gain expertise in assessing AWS cloud architectures, analyzing security controls, and performing controlled penetration tests on cloud-hosted applications, networks, and services. The curriculum covers the essential areas of cloud security posture, including IAM exploitation, S3 misconfigurations, EC2 instance attacks, serverless vulnerabilities, container security risks, and AWS networking weaknesses. You will also learn how attackers misuse native AWS services, abuse permissions, escalate privileges, and exfiltrate data, enabling you to think like an adversary and build stronger defense strategies.

The course is built around realistic labs, guided simulations, and hands-on tools used by professional penetration testers. You will work with industry-standard tools such as AWS CLI, Pacu, CloudGoat, ScoutSuite, Prowler, and custom scripts, giving you practical experience in discovering misconfigurations and exploiting weaknesses in AWS accounts. Advanced techniques such as SSRF exploitation in cloud environments, credential harvesting, IAM privilege escalation paths, key rotation attacks, and exploitation of AWS Lambda and ECS services are covered in detail.

In addition to offensive skills, you will develop strong defensive capabilities. The course provides best practices for AWS hardening, monitoring, and incident response. You will learn how to fix identified vulnerabilities, enforce least privilege, implement secure network segmentation, configure logging and auditing, and build security automation workflows. By the end of the training, you will be able to design and execute a complete AWS cloud penetration test, produce professional security reports, and support organizations in strengthening their cloud security posture.

Whether you are preparing for a cybersecurity job role, upgrading your cloud security skills, or aiming to work as a cloud penetration tester, this course provides the expertise needed to work confidently in AWS security environments. With growing demand for skilled cloud security professionals, mastering AWS penetration testing opens doors to high-paying roles in cybersecurity, DevSecOps, cloud auditing, and red team operations.

This course empowers you with the practical knowledge, tools, and techniques required to secure modern cloud infrastructures and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats in the AWS ecosystem.
