About CCSK version 4
The Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge
(CCSK) is the world’s leading cloud security
certificate. It was developed by the Cloud
Security Alliance and demonstrates a solid
theoretical and practical foundation for
understanding the security and control impact, as well as the new security opportunities
afforded by cloud computing. The online course prepares you very well for the online (open
book) exam. This exam and the certificate are managed by the Cloud Security Alliance
Worldwide, thousands of professionals hold CCSK.
About the online course
CCSK covers technical as well as managerial topics. These are
elaborated in various activities, including presentations, group
discussions, quizzes and optional labs (aka CCSK-Plus). Experience
shows that even people with little technical background find the
labs useful and rewarding.
In this training, the CCSK ‘Body of Knowledge’ is presented in five sections:
1. Introduction to cloud computing (definitions, examples)
2. Infrastructure and architecture of cloud computing
3. Risk and process
4. Application software security
5. Governance and compliance
Required knowledge: basic understanding of information technology and IT management
processes. Know what a server is, what a network address is, know what DNS does. Know
what ITIL is, but detailed knowledge of ITIL processes is not required. No coding experience
required (but can come in handy in one or two of the labs).
