This course is recommended for anywho who is looking to broaden and reinforce their AWS security understanding, or anyone who is interested in creating secure databases in general.

After finishing this lesson you will be able to recognize common security vulnerabilities in regards to DynamoDB and RDS.

You will be able to recommend ways to resolve these security issues as well as understand some best practices that will help create secure architectures for your database.

You should have a good understanding of cloud computing, in general, preferably with Amazon Web Services.  You should be able to deploy and manage either RDS or DynamoDB databases on a basic level.
