Cleveroad Passes the AWS Security Certification

Working with clients across different business domains, we always stick to their individual requirements. However, there’s a thing that we don’t need to be asked for — security. Continuous learning and adherence to the latest tech trends and methodologies let us deliver quality services with security at heart.

At Cleveroad, we encourage constant learning. That’s why our DevOps engineers have recently passed another certification — AWS Certified Security - Specialty.

• Partner-Based Learning. Designed to let partners better understand AWS products and help clients solve their problems.

• Specialized data classifications and data protection mechanisms
