CCSP Domain 3 - Cloud Platform and Infrastructure Security
What you'll learn
- Understand what (ISC)2 expects you to know about the cloud platform and infrastructure components.
- Recognize where network security appliances are useful.
- Comprehend the risk management processes.
- Understand the core components of networking.
- Comprehend where cloud fits into business continuity management
Requirements
- There are no requirements.
- A desire to learn what you need to know about the platform and architecture of the cloud for the CCSP exam is very beneficial to have.
- A basic understanding of information security is recommended.
Description
In this course we walk through all of the critical concepts within the Cloud Platform & Infrastructure domain. This domain is 17% of the test. I will guide you through all of the concepts that you need to know and advise you on the level of knowledge that you need to get comfortable with.
There is over 5 hours of video content plus course notes based on information from my book: Cloud Guardians.
We will take a look at networking. At its core this is a data center class. It is current data center technology that allows companies like Amazon to sell services that live on their network. If you are not comfortable with the basics to how networks work it is essential to take a look. If you are familiar with switches, routers, IP and such I have separated out those video sections so that it is easier to breeze right on by.
We will walk through risk analysis, evaluation and response. We will take a look at basic risk terms, from asset and threat to risk appetite and tolerance. It is also very good to know what quantitative and qualitative risk assessments are. You do not need to actually perform any calculations on the test at this time though.
And a brief look at the Cloud Security Alliances Egregious 11 and Treacherous 12 documents. The Treacherous 12 is a pretty basic way to look at problems on the cloud, but the Egregious 11 gets a bit more technical. Not to the level that the OWASP Top 10 is at, but still good to spend a little time getting to know. They are the actual problems (at least some of them) that we have with the cloud today.
We will also look at Business Continuity Management (BCM). It is an abbreviated view as we do not need to go into things like what is the difference between a hot site and a cold site. Instead the question is where does the cloud fit into BCM? Do make sure that you know your time frames e.g., MTD, RTO, RPO, etc.
Who this course is for:
- This course is intended for people that are preparing for the (ISC)2 CCSP exam.
- This course would benefit anyone working to expand their knowledge and understanding of the cloud platform and its infrastructure.

Hi! I am Gwen Bettwy
CISSP-ISSAP, ISSMP, CCSP, CISM, SSCP,
I have been traveling and teaching around the world since 1994. I began teaching Information Security in 2003 for (ISC)2. I have averaged about 2 courses a month since 1994. I began my career at Sprint which has helped me prepare for CCSPs cloud provider view.
Most of the courses I have taught since 2003 has been CISSP, although CISM, CISA, SSCP, and CGEIT have been sprinkled through there. I began teaching CCSP in 2017, since the exam was not launched until 2015.
I have a proven track record in the classroom of guiding students through information security concepts through to certification!
