Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge | Foundation v414 CPE’s

The CCSK is widely recognized as the standard of expertise for cloud security and provides a cohesive and vendor-neutral understanding of how to secure data in the cloud.

The CCSK Foundation is a 2-day class providing a broad overview of cloud security fundamentals. Learners gain critical insights into issues such as data security, architecture, governance, key management, and IAM.

The CCSK Foundation session starts with a detailed description of cloud computing and business requirements (governance, risk management, compliance, and legal) based on standards such as NIST and ISO/IEC. The session then moves into more technical security issues such as encryption, Identity Management, assessment of Public and Private Clouds, securing corporate data in the public cloud, and securing private clouds.

In addition to instructor-led training, participants also gain lifetime access to a number of self-paced resources allowing study online whenever, or wherever.

The CCSK enables everyone, from information security experts and CEOs to department managers and technical sales teams, the ability to utilize cloud services more securely and speak with confidence about cloud security concerns.

The CCSK is easily customizable and often delivered as a team training event.
