This course introduces the principles and practices of cloud security operations on STACKIT: how security events are identified, analyzed, and addressed to keep cloud resources protected over time. Across three modules it covers how logging and monitoring establish security visibility on STACKIT, how threat detection and alerting surface potential incidents, and the incident response lifecycle — containment, investigation, and recovery. ### What You'll Learn - Understand the role of logging, monitoring, and observability in cloud security - Use STACKIT services to improve security visibility - Identify common security events and indicators of suspicious activity - Understand the fundamentals of threat detection and alerting - Explain the incident response lifecycle and key response activities ### Modules - Security Visibility & Logging - Threat Detection & Alerting - Security Investigation & Incident Response
