Why this program matters

Without mastering AWS KMS, your encrypted data on the Amazon cloud remains vulnerable to unauthorized access and massive leaks.
60 % of cloud security incidents stem from poor cryptographic key management, with an average cost of 4,45 millions d’euros per breach according to IBM.
Every month without skills in key securing and management, your company exposes its GDPR compliance to fines up to 4 % of its annual revenue and risks operational shutdown.
For administrators and DevOps, this means failed audits, loss of trust, and careers threatened by unavoidable legal liabilities.
