Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Training and Certification
Course 1213
5 DAY COURSE
Course Outline
ISC2 developed the Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) credential to ensure that cloud security professionals have the required knowledge, skills, and abilities in cloud security design, implementation, architecture, operations, controls, and compliance with regulatory frameworks. A CCSP applies information security expertise to a cloud computing environment and demonstrates competence in cloud security architecture, design, operations, and service orchestration.
The training covers cloud computing technologies, including Microsoft Azure, as well as security practices related to physical infrastructure, cloud resource access control, and protection of sensitive data. Load balancers, security operations centers (SOCs), and cloud environment security will also be covered. Upon completion of the training, participants can attempt the CCSP exam, and earn the CCSP certification after passing the exam, which is a recognized industry standard for cloud security expertise.

Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Training and Certification Benefits
-
In this CCSP course, you will learn how to:
- Explain core cloud concepts, architectures, and design principles used in secure cloud environments.
- Apply cloud data security practices to protect sensitive information across its lifecycle.
- Implement security controls for cloud platforms and infrastructure to strengthen resilience.
- Evaluate cloud application security practices to identify and mitigate common risks.
- Manage cloud security operations to monitor, detect, and respond to security events.
- Interpret legal, risk, and compliance requirements to support secure and compliant cloud environments.
CCSP Training Prerequisites
Candidates must have a minimum of five years cumulative, full-time experience in information technology (IT). Three years must be in cybersecurity, and one year must be in one or more of the six domains of the current CCSP Exam Outline. Earning a post-secondary degree (bachelors or masters) in computer science, IT or related fields may satisfy up to one year of the required experience. Earning CSA’s CCSK certificate can be substituted for one year of experience. Only one year of experience can be waived. An active CISSP credential may be substituted for the entire CCSP experience requirement. Part-time work and internships may also count towards the experience requirement.
A candidate that doesn’t have the required experience to become a CCSP may become an Associate of ISC2 by successfully passing the CCSP examination. The Associate of ISC2 will then have six years to earn the five years required experience. You can learn more about CCSP experience requirements and how to account for part-time work and internships at www.isc2.org/Certifications/CCSP/experience-requirements.
