The Fortinet Certified Professional (FCP) AWS Cloud Security 7.4 Administrator certification (FCP-WCS-AD-7-4) is designed for cloud security engineers, security administrators, network professionals, and DevSecOps teams responsible for deploying, managing, and securing Fortinet solutions in Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments. This course aligns with official Fortinet objectives and focuses on leveraging FortiGate, FortiWeb, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer to secure workloads, monitor threats, and ensure compliance in cloud-hosted infrastructures.

With growing adoption of cloud services, organizations face complex security challenges around visibility, control, and compliance. This certification equips you with the skills to configure, integrate, and manage Fortinet security solutions in AWS environments, ensuring data protection, workload security, and threat prevention at scale.

Key topics include:

• AWS security architecture: understanding VPCs, subnets, security groups, and IAM policies

• FortiGate deployment on AWS: securing workloads, VPN setup, and traffic inspection

• Cloud-native integration: leveraging AWS services like CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and Security Hub

• Identity & access management: configuring RBAC and enforcing least privilege principles

• Application protection: deploying FortiWeb to secure APIs and web applications against OWASP Top 10 threats

• Automated security orchestration: integrating FortiManager for centralized policy management

• Threat detection & incident response: using FortiAnalyzer for log correlation and forensic investigation

• Compliance & reporting: ensuring alignment with frameworks like PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2
