Course Description

Welcome! I'm here to help you prepare and PASS the newest AWS Certified Security Specialty exam.

I'm so excited to have you here, but first, let's make sure this AWS Certified Security Specialty course is the right one for you


[Jan 2026 Update]: The course is fully updated for SCS-C03

[Jun 2023 Update]: The course is fully updated for SCS-C02


-- -- -- -- -- -- --

**PLEASE READ**:

The course is MOSTLY SLIDES-BASED: If you're new to AWS, just finished AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate and need to acquire some hands-on experience, I strongly recommend doing the following courses: AWS Certified Developer Associate, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator Associate, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer.

Expert course - you MUST have AT LEAST the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate: a lot of pre-requisite knowledge is assumed for that course. If you don't feel confident, please review the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate course first. Other certifications and extra-hands on experience is a huge plus.

This course is FAST-PACED: You must be ready to learn fast. I will not waste time over some basics. The slides are downloadable. I advise you to use the slides for some offline review after your session. I also recommend to not hesitate to go over some lectures you might have not understood fully.

NO PRACTICE EXAM INCLUDED: This course does not contain a practice exam. Please enroll in a separate course for that. This course focuses on teaching you the knowledge to ace the exam.

The AWS Certified Security Specialty certification is a fun certification and a challenging exam. It requires some substantial hands-on and real-world experience for you to pass. This course is going to help you solidify the knowledge you already have and put it in perspective through the study of various solutions architectures and services.


With the right dedication and thanks to this course, you should be prepared for your exam and maximize your chances of passing your AWS Certified Security Specialty certification!


I am dedicated to helping people pass AWS certifications on Udemy, and have been teaching about how to pass all Associate Level, Professional Level, and all Specialty certifications. People who learn with me pass their exams with great confidence!

Very enjoyable course which helped me learn a lot of concepts from scratch. I personally felt the exam was way harder than the practice tests and quiz but happy to have cleared it. Definitely recommend others to buy it.

Great course for AWS Security Specialty! Clear explanations, good coverage of key services, and practical insights. The IAM and logging sections were particularly useful. Perfect for security professionals moving into cloud.

This AWS Security course stands out for its practical focus on real-world threat scenarios, hands-on labs, and clear explanations of core security services. It blends foundational concepts with advanced topics like identity, access management, and threat detection, equipping learners with actionable skills to protect cloud environments. Stephane is outstanding at practical demos, and concise assessments to help translate theory into confident, effective security practices in modern architectures.
