Break Into Cloud Security — Career Roadmap Session

Cloud security spans a wide range of actual jobs — Cloud Security Engineer, Cloud Security Architect, Cloud Security Analyst, DevSecOps-adjacent roles, CSPM/tooling-focused roles — and the right entry point depends on whether you're coming from a networking, software, or general IT background.

What we'll cover:

• The real roles and how their day-to-day differs (hands-on hardening vs. architecture vs. tooling/automation vs. compliance-adjacent)
• Which cloud provider to specialize in first (AWS, Azure, or GCP) based on your target job market, and when multi-cloud actually matters
• Certification order that makes sense for freshers (e.g., AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, CCSP, GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer) vs. certs that are overkill before you have experience
• How to translate general IT/networking/sysadmin experience into a cloud security narrative if you're not starting from scratch
