Certification // Official (ISC)2 - CCSP Bootcamp

• While numerous cloud certificates and certifications exist to show proficiency using various vendors’ cloud platforms, many only touch on information security as part of a broader cloud knowledge base, and in a theoretical way (e.g. AWS, Certified Cloud Professional, CompTIA Cloud+, Azure). The CCSP is vendor-neutral and focuses on industry best practices for securing cloud environments. It’s intended for professionals more heavily involved in cloud security via roles that are accountable for protecting enterprise architectures.
• The CCSP provides employers with a reliable indicator of candidates’ overall competency in cloud security. This ensures they put the right people in place who can leverage the benefits of cloud computing and possess the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to address the security and business issues associated with the complexities of cloud computing. The CCSP simplifies and improves the hiring process for both public and private sector organizations.

• Quality instruction matters. Make sure your training provider offers qualified, authorized (ISC)² instructors.

No instructor can claim they “teach the exam,” and are prohibited from participating in Exam Item Writing. Beware of any training provider claiming to “teach the exam.”
