This Companion combines two academic courses from ESTIA's BIHAR Master of Science with two industrial learning paths from Oracle University, covering cloud security end to end.

The first course, "Cybersecurity", gives an overview of security concepts and practices. You will learn to identify and prevent attacks and malware, implement access control policies (DAC, MAC), master symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, and secure networks and personal data within the GDPR framework.

The second course, "Cloud Programming", covers the fundamentals and practical aspects of development in cloud environments: architectures and service models, AWS and GCP platforms, distributed computing and storage, automation and pipelines, containers and serverless programming.

The third course, "Become an OCI Foundations Associate", introduces Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: OCI architecture, identity and access management, networking, compute, storage, security and cost control.

The fourth course, "Become a Cloud Security Professional", goes deeper into protecting workloads, data and applications on OCI: network security, encryption and key management, detection and monitoring with Cloud Guard, compliance. The exam is hands-on.

✅ On completing the Companion, you validate 8 ECTS (4 ECTS per academic course) corresponding to credits from the BIHAR Master of Science, and you may sit the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate (1Z0-1085-26) and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Security Professional (1Z0-1104-26) certifications. The OCI Foundations Associate exam is free.

⚠️ Please ensure that you meet the required level before enrolling in this program. This will ensure you gain the maximum benefit from this enriching experience. 

All academic courses are offered as MOOC videos, giving you complete flexibility in your learning journey.

The courses "Cybersecurity" and "Cloud Programming" are delivered on the Moodle platform, managed by Datum Academy. You will find instructional videos, downloadable course materials and detailed case studies. Academic exams are taken online, remotely proctored by ProctorExam.

The Oracle learning paths are accessible on the Oracle MyLearn platform. Official path and certification titles are in English; the courses are generally multilingual.
