✍️ A Note from the Author

I created this course because I've watched too many talented financial teams treat cloud security as a problem for the IT department alone. You can't protect your data if you don't understand the tools holding it. I wrote this for the leaders who need to turn technical requirements into a culture of safety that actually works.
