Introduction
Cloud Security mode of Study
- Option 1: Public course 3-day Certification Programme

CCSK a solid foundation in Cloud Security issues and best practices
This 3-day training prepares you for the Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) and covers all domain topics outlined by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and the recommendations from the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA). The CCSK credential will provide foundational requirements for any future certifications that focus on specific professions, management or technical skills.
Cloud Security (CCSK) the industry's first Cloud Security certification
The CCSK is strongly supported by a broad coalition of experts and organisations from around the world. The collaboration between CSA and ENISA means that the world's two leading organisations for vendor-neutral Cloud Security research are providing the foundation for the industry's first Cloud Security certification.
About the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA)
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) is a not-for-profit organisation with a mission to promote the use of best practices for providing security assistance within Cloud Computing and to provide education on the use of Cloud Computing to help secure all other forms of computing. The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) is led by a broad coalition of industry practitioners, corporations, associations and other stakeholders. The CSA certification board is a diverse group of Cloud Security experts from around the world.
About the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA)
ENISA is the EU's response to cybersecurity issues within the European Union. The objective of ENISA is to be the European hub for the exchange of information, best practices and knowledge in the field of information security.
Cloud Security training and certification - target group
The 3-day training on Cloud Security is relevant to any IT professional who is planning to use cloud computing or is already working in the cloud.

Cloud Security (CCSK) exam
The Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) is a web-based, multiple-choice examination of individual competency in key Cloud Security issues. The test is a 60 question, timed examination, which must be completed within 90 minutes.
Will the Cloud Security (CCSK) certification expire?
The CCSK certification does not expire. However, it will be given a version number equating it to a specific Body of Knowledge. It is likely that updated exams will be regarded as the Body of Knowledge changes.
Cloud Security (CCSK) - prerequisites
The Cloud Security training is designed to interest any IT professional, and there is no requirement for preliminary knowledge or understanding of this subject matter.
Cloud Security (CCSK) a viable substitute for other certifications?
The CCSK is not a substitute for other certifications in information security, audit and governance.
Cloud Security (CCSK) CPE credits that can be applied to other certifications
Other certifying bodies will provide CPE credits for the one-hour to take the CCSK test and the other hours required to study for the test.
Cloud Security (CCSK) training feedback from participants
'The training was useful to understand cloud structure a bit more in detail. I will use this information in my organisation.'

- It saves time and money;
- Enables you to train in the comfort of your own working environment;
- Can be arranged for groups of 5 people or more;
- Will take place at a time chosen by and convenient for you; and
- Sensitive issues can be openly discussed because there are no outsiders.
