APIs are the foundation of modern digital services, connecting applications, cloud platforms, mobile solutions, and business systems. As organisations increase their use of cloud APIs, API gateways, and connected services, protecting these interfaces becomes essential for reducing security risks and maintaining reliable digital operations. Secure API Gateways And Cloud API Security is designed to help learners understand how modern API security works across cloud environments. The course covers API architectures, gateway functions, identity protection, access controls, threat prevention, monitoring, and governance practices used to secure API-driven systems. Learners will explore important cloud security concepts including Zero Trust, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, JWT authentication, machine identities, secrets management, API access controls, and secure authorization models. The course also explains common API threats such as broken object-level authorization, injection attacks, shadow APIs, token misuse, and excessive access permissions. This cloud security course also introduces practical approaches for securing API gateways, cloud-native applications, containers, serverless environments, and microservices. Learners will understand how security teams use logging, monitoring, threat intelligence, DevSecOps practices, and compliance frameworks to improve API protection. Suitable for cybersecurity learners, cloud professionals, developers, IT teams, and security-focused professionals, this online cloud security training provides knowledge that can support safer API design, stronger cloud governance, and improved security decision-making.
