12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Implementing cloud-native security consistently across platforms remains complex, even with strong tools.

The situation this course is for

Teams adopt powerful tools like Aqua but struggle to operationalize them across CI/CD pipelines, multi-cluster Kubernetes environments, and compliance frameworks. Gaps emerge in policy consistency, alert prioritization, and integration with existing DevOps workflows, leading to coverage gaps and inefficiencies.

Who this is for

Technical leads, platform engineers, DevSecOps practitioners, and security architects implementing or scaling cloud-native security in production environments.

Who this is not for

This course is not for entry-level learners or those seeking vendor-specific certification prep. It assumes foundational knowledge of containerization and Kubernetes.

What you walk away with

  • Design and deploy Aqua-enforced security policies across CI/CD and runtime environments
  • Integrate Aqua controls into GitOps workflows and infrastructure-as-code pipelines
  • Automate compliance reporting for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and internal audit frameworks
  • Optimize vulnerability management workflows with contextual risk prioritization
  • Build and maintain a scalable, auditable cloud-native security posture
