Cloud Security Specialist
Builds toward cloud security specialization on AWS. The path moves from architecture fundamentals to the Security Specialty — the definitive AWS credential for cloud security engineers, security architects, and compliance professionals.
CLF-C02 establishes the AWS foundation needed before tackling security concepts. Understanding core AWS services is essential before learning how to secure them.
SAA-C03 is required knowledge before the Security Specialty. You cannot effectively secure AWS architectures without first understanding how to design them.
SCS-C02 is the definitive AWS security credential. It validates IAM policy design, encryption, network security controls, and incident response — the skills that command $130,000–$175,000 in cloud security roles.
