Prevent Real Cloud Attacks with Terraform

New to Terraform or looking to level up your skills across AWS, Azure, and GCP? Whether you're just getting started or ready to refine your approach, this poster offers practical guidance to help you build secure, scalable multicloud environments using Infrastructure as Code.

Originally developed to support SEC510: Cloud Security Controls and Mitigations, this resource was created by SANS Senior Instructor Brandon Evans, co-author of SEC510. It’s based on thousands of lines of Terraform used to build the course’s complex lab environment, featuring hundreds of resources deployed across all three major cloud providers.

Packed with real-world lessons, common pitfalls to avoid, and best practices to follow, this poster distills what worked, what didn’t, and what to watch out for when managing cloud infrastructure at scale. While designed with the SEC510 course in mind, it's a valuable reference for anyone exploring the SANS Cloud Security curriculum, where Terraform plays a central role in teaching secure cloud design.
