Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK)
Certification Training Course

Cloud Computing is considered as a necessary component to most company in establishing their IT infrastructure. To ensure the environment is secure and can sustain against current security attack, company need security specialists with cloud computing security knowledge.

Vendor-specific cloud training usually focuses on working knowledge which might be sufficient at implementation level. Nevertheless, a cloud security practitioner would often need to answer organizational stakeholders’ questions on how secure the cloud environment is. Without the understanding of important concepts and specific domain knowledge on cloud security, a cloud security practitioner/assessor could not competently assess whether the cloud environment is secure enough to meet the strategic objectives.

IT security accessor need to be equipped with latest cloud security knowledge in order to assure that cloud computing is implemented responsibly, and with the appropriate security controls.

Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) training course will enrich you to have the required skills.
