Why cloud security skills are
imperative for your entire staff
Across nearly every industry, organizations are discovering a greater need to empower
every employee with cloud security skills. Data is being used in more places, for more
purposes, and by more partners in the digital ecosystem. These factors, along with an
increase in remote work, are requiring businesses to view cloud security as an imperative—
one that is the responsibility of everyone in the business, not just those with "security" in
their job titles.
For developers, analysts, and DevOps, security is no longer a peripheral issue—it's part of
their core responsibilities and a critical consideration in everything they do. For security
professionals, expanding skills and keeping them current is of vital importance. There's a
shortage of skilled professionals, so gaining skills builds career progression opportunities
and ensures that skilled professionals are keeping the network, data, and applications
secure. And for executives and non-technical staff, cloud security training enables
greater productivity and collaboration, allowing everyone in the organization to
communicate with a shared language and work together to complete cloud projects
faster and more effectively.
AWS recognizes the growing need for organization-wide security skills. We are dedicated to
keeping security our top priority—and helping your organization prioritize security, as well.
The AWS Cloud has the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, meaning that customers are
responsible for security in the cloud, while AWS is responsible for security of the cloud. This
means that you retain control of the security you choose to implement—and you get access
to hundreds of tools and features to help you meet your security objectives.
The challenge is that security skills are in high demand, making it difficult to hire and retain
talent to innovate securely—and to keep critical security projects sufficiently staffed. AWS
Training and Certification offers flexible digital training that can help your teams build
security skills quickly and comprehensively.
