The personal competence of each individual employee is important for the protection of cloud services. Ethical principles and generally applicable standards are necessary to achieve and maintain a high security standard. (ISC)² and Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) have jointly developed a certificate for cloud security specialists.
The complexity and risk profile of cloud computing requires new approaches to secure cloud and hybrid environments - legacy approaches are insufficient. It takes experienced professionals with the right cloud security knowledge and skills to succeed in this space.
The Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) credential is designed to ensure that cloud security professionals have the required knowledge, skills and abilities in cloud security design, implementation, architecture, operations, controls and regulatory compliance. CCSP stands for Information Security Expertise in Cloud Computing and demonstrates expertise in cloud security architecture, design, operations and service orchestration.
This course is aimed at anyone who wants to prepare for CCSP certification. Security specialists with existing CISSP certification who want to expand their knowledge in the area of cloud security, as well as security administrators, system administrators and IT engineers in the area of cloud computing.
In addition to passing the exam, the following requirements must be met for certification as a CCSP: At least five years of practical experience in Information Technology (IT/ICT), 3 years of which must be in Information Security and at least 1 year of which must be in one of the six CBK (Common Body of Knowledge) work areas, which are the following:
No additional years of practice are required with existing, valid CISSP certification.
Experience in telecommunications, virtual systems and networks is an advantage, good English language skills are required. For more information, please visit the ISC2.org website (https://isc2.org/ccsp-how-to-certify/default.aspx).
The expertise gained in this course is measured by a globally recognized body. The CCSP is a stand-alone certificate that complements and extends existing continuing education programs, including (ISC)² «Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)» and the CSA «Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK)» certificate.
Not included in the price are the PearsonVUE exam fees of approximately EUR 480. We recommend additional study time after the course to optimally prepare for the exam. You can register for the CCSP exam online at PearsonVUE (http://www.pearsonvue.com/isc2/). The CCSP exam can be taken on-site at Helidux (http://www.helidux.ch).
