Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP)

COURSE OVERVIEW

Professionals with extensive expertise in cyber, information, software, and cloud computing infrastructure security are recognized with the Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) credential. A Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) exhibits proficiency in cloud security architecture, design, operations, and service orchestration, as well as applying information security knowledge to a cloud computing context.In order to get ready for the CCSP Exam, this program offers a thorough examination of cloud security principles and industry best practices, covering six CCSP CBK domains.

Throughout the course, a variety of exercises are employed to reinforce concepts and improve recollection of the material. These exercises consist of open-ended questions from the teacher to the pupils, polling and matching questions, group projects, open-ended and closed-ended inquiries, and group discussions. Robust theories of adult learning serve as the foundation for this interactive learning approach.

TARGET AUDIENCE

With at least five years of full-time IT experience, including three years of information security and at least one year of cloud security, the CCSP credential is intended for seasoned information security professionals. Professionals working in IT architecture, web and cloud security engineering, information security, governance, risk and compliance, and even IT audits can benefit from earning the CCSP credential.

The best candidates for CCSP are those whose regular duties include acquiring, safeguarding, and overseeing cloud environments or services that have been purchased. To put it another way, CCSPs use the cloud extensively. Cloud security architecture, design, operations, and/or service orchestration will fall under the purview of several CCSPs.
