What you'll learn

  • Map security responsibilities correctly across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS under the shared responsibility model
  • Select the correct data de-identification technique (masking, tokenization, anonymization, pseudonymization) for a given scenario
  • Evaluate cloud service providers against ISO/IEC 27017/27018, SOC 2, and CSA STAR criteria
  • Choose appropriate encryption key custody models (provider-managed, CMEK/BYOK, HYOK)
  • Design BCDR architectures using RTO/RPO calculations and active-active vs active-passive tradeoffs
  • Integrate SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning into a secure DevSecOps pipeline
  • Design IAM access models using RBAC vs ABAC and select appropriate MFA methods
  • Distinguish incident, problem, change, and configuration management under ITIL in cloud operations

Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

This course delivers exam-focused preparation for the ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) credential, built around the revised exam outline effective August 1, 2026. Instructor Aseem Mankotia walks through all six official domains in weighted order - Cloud Concepts, Architecture and Design; Cloud Data Security; Cloud Platform and Infrastructure Security; Cloud Application Security; Cloud Security Operations; and Legal, Risk and Compliance - including the newly added AI/ML security and ethics objectives. Every chapter maps directly to an exam domain and weight, so your study time goes where the exam actually tests.

Because CCSP is deliberately vendor-neutral, this course stays concept- and principle-driven throughout: shared responsibility boundaries, encryption and key custody models, de-identification technique selection, BCDR design, DevSecOps pipelines, IAM architectures, SIEM/SOC operations, and legal/audit/risk decisions - illustrated with realistic, provider-agnostic scenarios rather than any single vendor's console. Each chapter includes heavily-tested concepts, common exam traps, a hands-on scenario exercise, and two practice questions styled after the real exam's decision-based format.

The course closes with a full practice exam simulation and a 3-hour, adaptive-format time-management strategy. This is a read-and-understand, scenario-driven course - no cloud account required. Note: CCSP has an experience requirement (five years cumulative IT experience, three in information security, one in a CCSP domain), with an Associate of ISC2 path for those still building experience, and candidates should confirm current exam outline, format, and fees on the official ISC2 CCSP page before scheduling.

AI content disclosure: This course was produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools. Lecture narration is AI-voice generated, and lecture scripts, slides, and practice questions were drafted with AI assistance, then reviewed and curated by the instructor for technical accuracy and alignment with the official CCSP exam guide.

Who this course is for:

  • Experienced security professionals moving into or specializing in cloud - cloud security architects and engineers, security consultants, security managers and CISOs, enterprise and systems architects, and GRC and compliance professionals. ISC2 recommends five years of cumulative IT experience (three in information security, one in a CCSP domain); candidates without it can still sit the exam and become an Associate of ISC2. A strong vendor-neutral complement to the provider-specific security courses in this catalog such as the AWS Certified Security - Specialty (SCS-C03) and Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer.
