Cloud and DevOps let teams ship quickly, but speed without control produces open storage buckets, leaked secrets, runaway invoices, fragile releases and outages that nobody planned for. Risk now spans security, reliability, cost, compliance and the engineering organisation itself. Ten days of lab-based training give you a structured way to find, rank and treat these risks without slowing delivery.
The first week covers cloud shared responsibility, identity and access management, network and data protection, infrastructure as code scanning, container and Kubernetes security, CI/CD pipeline hardening, secrets management, software supply chain and SBOMs. The second week moves to site reliability engineering with SLOs and error budgets, observability, incident response, chaos testing and disaster recovery, then FinOps tagging, budgets, forecasting and unit economics, and platform engineering with golden paths, policy as code and governance. Frameworks include NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, the AWS Well-Architected Framework and the FinOps Framework. Cloud engineers, DevOps and platform engineers, SREs, security and risk officers, IT managers and architects will gain most. Classroom, online and in-house delivery are available with a CPD-accredited certificate. You finish with a working risk register and control backlog for your own environment.
Organisations in finance, telecoms, government and the start-up sector now run critical services on public cloud, containers and automated pipelines. Each new capability brings new ways to fail: a misconfigured role grants access to everything, a compromised dependency reaches production through the pipeline, a forgotten cluster burns budget, or a single region outage takes a service offline. Traditional annual risk reviews cannot keep pace with infrastructure that changes many times a day.
The Risk Management for Cloud, DevOps, FinOps & Platform Engineering Training Course teaches a continuous, engineering-led approach to risk. Participants begin with risk assessment methods adapted to cloud, including threat modelling, risk registers and control mapping against recognised frameworks. They then build and test controls in hands-on labs: identity design, network segmentation, encryption and key management, policy as code, pipeline security, container hardening and secrets handling.
The second half of the programme addresses resilience, cost and organisational risk. Participants define service level objectives, build alerting and incident response routines, test recovery, and apply FinOps practices such as allocation, anomaly detection and commitment planning. They also learn how platform teams reduce risk by offering paved roads that make the safe way the easy way. The course closes with an integrated project in which each participant assesses a reference environment, prioritises its risks and presents a remediation roadmap with measurable targets.
By the end of the ten days, participants will be able to:
