Certified Cloud Security Professional

What you’ll learn in this course

The Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) is the premier cloud security certification. One of the hottest certifications on the market today. The CCSP recognizes IT and information security leaders who have the knowledge and competency to apply best practices to cloud security architecture, design, operations and service orchestration.

Popularity of the CCSP

For the past 4 years in a row, the CCSP has been touted as “the next big thing” in Certification Magazine’s annual salary issue. In fact, it has been the fastest growing certification in ISC2s history, with record growth to 1,000 certified and to 5,000 certified milestones.

Popularity of cloud security skills

The ISC2 2019 Cybersecurity Workforce Study revealed that cybersecurity workers placed cloud computing security among their top skills development priorities. This reflects a recognition that cloud-based environments are big targets for cybercriminals

Required Experience

Candidates must have at least five years of cumulative, full-time experience in information technology, of which three years must be in information security, and one year 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, Information Technology (IT) or related fields may satisfy one year of the required experience.

Earning an additional credential from the ISC2 approved list may be substituted for one year of experience in one or more of the six domains of the CCSP Exam Outline. Earning ISC2’s CISSP credential can be substituted for the entire CCSP experience requirement. Part-time work and internships may also count toward the experience requirement
