AWS Certified Security: Specialty
Overview
The AWS Certified Security: Specialty is geared towards individuals who focus primarily on security within AWS. I found that as a solutions architect, it is extremely important to have security at the forefront of my mind while building. Building an environment secure initially reduces the risk of failing compliance and potential exploitation at production launch.
