This intermediate module explores the critical practice of continuous monitoring in cloud environments. You will learn to configure real-time alerting for configuration drift, integrate Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) findings with SIEM and SOAR platforms, and build automated response workflows. The curriculum covers setting up native cloud alerts (e.g., AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor), reducing alert fatigue through intelligent tuning, and ensuring that security teams are notified of critical posture changes the moment they occur, enabling rapid incident response.

## Lessons

1. What Is Continuous Cloud Monitoring and Why Does It Matter (30 min)
2. CloudTrail, Azure Monitor and GCP Audit Logs (30 min)
3. Guided Lab: Building an Alert for Anomalous Cloud Activity (30 min)
