AWS's dedicated security credential — specialized, deep security expertise across the AWS platform.
Security Specialty certifies the specific skills cloud security teams actually need: detection and incident response, infrastructure and identity security, data protection, and security governance, all within AWS's shared-responsibility model. It's the credential that tells an employer you can secure AWS environments specifically, not just security in the abstract.
