Overview

AWS Certified Security – Specialty validates in-depth expertise in AWS security: threat detection and incident response, logging and monitoring, infrastructure security, identity and access management, data protection and multi-account governance. The SCS-C03 version, live since December 2025, puts greater weight on detection, automated response and securing environments organised with AWS Organizations.

In Morocco, AWS is widely used by startups, software vendors, e-commerce players and the offshoring and nearshoring centres running platforms for European clients. Banks and public bodies move more cautiously because of Law 05-20 and DGSSI guidelines, as well as Law 09-08 and the CNDP's oversight of personal data transfers outside the country. Choosing the right region, encrypting with KMS, isolating accounts and tracing every access with CloudTrail is exactly what these organisations expect from a cloud security specialist.

Our intensive 3-day (21-hour) course covers the official SCS-C03 domains through realistic scenarios and labs: IAM and Identity Center, SCPs, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Detective, VPC and WAF, KMS and Secrets Manager, Macie, and automated response with EventBridge and Lambda. It runs in class in Casablanca or Rabat, or as a live virtual classroom, and the exam voucher is included in the price.
