AWS WAF & GuardDuty curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : Theme: Advanced AWS WAF deployment and custom rules (ACL, logging, testing)

Participants deploy AWS WAF on CloudFront distributions and ALBs, create regex and rate-based rules, enable logging to S3 and Athena, then test OWASP attack scenarios on a real environment. They analyze CloudWatch metrics and adjust thresholds to minimize false positives while protecting critical applications.

Module 2 : Theme: Configuration and investigation with Amazon GuardDuty (detection, findings, automation)

Learners activate GuardDuty across multiple AWS accounts, configure S3 and DNS data sources, examine high-severity findings, and set up EventBridge rules to trigger automated response Lambdas. They simulate compromises and produce investigation reports usable by SOC teams.

Module 3 : Theme: Integrating WAF & GuardDuty into a multi-cloud strategy (Azure, Google Cloud, reporting)

Participants connect GuardDuty findings to Azure Sentinel and Google Security Command Center, create unified dashboards, and write remediation playbooks. They conduct a full audit of a client use case and deliver a quantified hardening plan with ROI recommendations.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your AWS WAF & GuardDuty training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
