AWS Web Application Security via WAF, CloudWatch, and Athena
Strengths
Practical Threat Analysis Workflow
The curriculum uses simulated attacks to teach how to monitor and react to security incidents using AWS services.
Effective Log Analysis Training
Learners gain experience querying WAF and application logs through Amazon Athena and CloudWatch Insights.
Actionable Security Monitoring
Instruction includes configuring CloudWatch alarms to detect abnormal behavior and provide real-time alerts.
Limitations
Instructional and Audio Discrepancies
