Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Course

The Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) course is a globally recognized certification program designed for IT and security professionals to validate their expertise in cloud security.

It encompasses a comprehensive curriculum that addresses the best practices and standards for securing cloud environments.

Through lessons on cloud computing concepts, Cloud reference architecture, and Security principles, learners gain a deep understanding of the architectural concepts and design requirements of cloud systems.

The course also delves into Cloud data security, teaching students about Data lifecycle management, protection strategies, and compliance with data protection laws for sensitive information like PII.Further, it covers cloud platform & infrastructure security, emphasizing the importance of disaster recovery and risk management.

In Cloud application security, participants learn about Secure software development life-cycle and IAM solutions. The operations module prepares learners to manage cloud infrastructure, ensure Regulatory compliance, and handle digital evidence.

Lastly, the legal & compliance section provides insights into legal risks, privacy issues, and Vendor management in the cloud. This comprehensive course equips professionals with the necessary skills to safeguard cloud environments effectively.
