The Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) certification ensures that cloud security specialists have the needed expertise, abilities, and skills in cloud security design, implementation, architecture, operations, controls, and compliance with regulatory frameworks. A CCSP implements information security expertise to a cloud computing environment and demonstrates competence in cloud security architecture, design, progress, and service orchestration. This professional capability is validated against a globally acknowledged body of knowledge. The CCSP is an outstanding credential that complements and develops upon existing credentials and educational programs, including (ISC)²’s Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and CSA’s Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK)

Candidates must have a least of 5 years total paid work experience in information technology, of which 3 years must be in information security and 1 year in 1 or more of the 6 regions of the CCSP. Earning (ISC)²’s CISSP credential can be replaced for the entire CCSP experience requirement

The candidate will come across 125 multiple-choice questions.

Recognizing the need to identify and validate information security professionals’ competency in securing cloud services, the two leading membership organizations focused on cloud and information security, the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and (ISC)², developed an international cloud security credential that reflects the most current and comprehensive best practices for securing and optimizing cloud computing environments.
The CCSP represents the highest standard for cloud security expertise and ensures that cloud security professionals have the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to audit, assess, and secure cloud infrastructures.

Cloud computing is delivering on its promise: dramatically improved business and systems flexibility, increased availability, and increased efficiency – all at a reduced cost. While many long-standing information security best practices are appropriate, managing and utilizing cloud computing introduces new complexities and challenges that cannot be addressed with traditional information security approaches.
The CCSP credential reflects deeper knowledge derived from hands-on information security and cloud computing experience. It validates practical know-how applicable to those professionals whose day-to-day responsibilities involve cloud security architecture, design, operations, and service orchestration

The CCSP is ideal for IT and information security leaders seeking to prove their understanding of cybersecurity and securing critical assets in the cloud. It shows you have the advanced technical skills and knowledge to design, manage and secure data, applications and infrastructure in the cloud.
The CCSP is most relevant to those working in roles such as:
Enterprise Architect
Security Administrator
Security Architect
Security Consultant
Security Engineer
Security Manager
Systems Architect
Systems Engineer

These courses provide the most thorough review of the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK), industry concepts and best practices and attract delegates from different backgrounds. Since (ISC)² exams are experience-based, attendees usually take the exam from a couple of weeks to a couple of months after the course, depending on their personal experience in the domains covered in the CBK. Best preparation is based on a combination of training course, individual study and experience. Career Maker cannot guarantee you will pass the exam by attending the course alone.

When you receive notification informing you that you have successfully passed the exam, and you have the required experience you can start the Online Endorsement Application. Candidates must have a minimum of 1 year cumulative work experience in 1 or more of the 6 domains of the CCSP CBK. A 1 year prerequisite pathway will be granted for candidates who received a degree (bachelors or masters) in a cybersecurity program
A candidate that doesn’t have the required experience to become an CCSP may become an Associate of (ISC)² by successfully passing the CCSP examination. The Associate of (ISC)² will then have 2 years to earn the 1 year required experience
