Introduce section 2 of the CCSK v4.0 course, covering management plane, business continuity, infrastructure security, virtualization and containers, incident response, application and data security, identity and access management.
Explore how immutable workloads and image-driven deployments enhance cloud workload security, enabling faster rollouts, consistent images, and integrated security testing across cloud platforms.
Secure operations harden the production management plane with strict access control and immutable infrastructure. Apply segregation by default, enabling cloud-native isolated environments, and automate security via CI/CD and event-driven monitoring.
Explore data security and encryption in cloud environments. Learn about securing data in transit and at rest, and managing data across object, file, and block storage.
Explore how entities obtain identity, attributes, and personas, define roles and entitlements, and enforce authentication with MFA to govern access, authorization, and federation across systems.
Explore security as a service categories: identity and access management, identity as a service, PEP and PDP as a service, cloud security gateways, web and email security, and security assessments.
Security information and event management, encryption and key management, business continuity and disaster recovery, security management, and DDoS protection come together in cloud services to provide real-time protection and guidance.
Celebrate completing the course and preparing for the exam. Complete all lectures and understand the subject matter, so you’re ready to take the certification exam.
The CCSK is a web-based examination of an individual's competency in key cloud security issues. Launched in 2010, the CCSK is a widely recognized standard of expertise and is the industry's primary benchmark for measuring cloud security skillsets. The CCSK is an open-book, online exam, completed in 90 minutes with 60 multiple-choice questions selected randomly from the CCSK question pool. Purchasing the exam costs $395 and provides you with two test attempts, which you will have 2 years to use. The minimum passing score is 80%. There are several ways you can prepare for the exam.
The CCSK is intended to provide understanding of security issues and best practices over a broad range of cloud computing domains. As cloud computing is becoming the dominant IT system, CCSK is applicable to a wide variety of IT and information security jobs in virtually every organization.
The CCSK is strongly recommended for IT auditors, and it is even required for portions of the CSA Security, Trust & Assurance Registry (STAR) program. Get solid knowledge on the concepts of cloud security.
Learn important concepts you will need to know in order to prepare for the CCSK V4 certification exam.
