CCSP (JOHANNESBURG) January 2025

Service Description

(ISC)² and the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) developed and launched the Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) credential to build on (ISC)²’s Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and CSA’s Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK). This standalone credential was designed to ensure that cloud security professionals have the required knowledge, skills, and experience in cloud security design, implementation, architecture, operations, controls, and compliance with regulatory frameworks. Since the co-development and launch of CCSP, (ISC)² continues to maintain and update the exam and training materials to ensure ISO accreditation. A CCSP has the advanced technical skills and knowledge to design, manage and secure data, applications and infrastructure in the cloud using best practices, policies and procedures established by the cybersecurity experts at (ISC)². A CCSP applies information security expertise to a cloud computing environment and demonstrates competence in cloud architecture, design, operations, data security, risk and compliance. This professional competence is measured against a globally recognized body of knowledge.
