Certificate in Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK)

This Certificate in Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) training comprises the CCSK Foundation and an additional day of hands-on labs. It starts with the fundamentals, then increases in complexity as it works through all 16 domains of the CSA Security Guidance, recommendations from the European Union Agency for Network & Information Security (ENISA), and an overview of the Cloud Controls Matrix. The Foundation portion will cover the fundamentals of cloud computing, digging into the details of securing the core infrastructure for cloud computing. Students will learn the important considerations for managing security for cloud computing and information lifecycle management for the cloud and how to apply security controls, with an emphasis on public cloud.

Lastly, it will delve into identity management and application security for cloud deployments. Students then build on the Certificate in Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) Foundation class with a third day of training that covers expanded material and offers extensive hands-on activities that reinforce classroom instruction. Students engage in a scenario of bringing a fictional organization securely into the cloud, which gives them the opportunity to apply their knowledge by performing a series of activities that would be required in a real-world environment.
