/ IT Trainings / Yazan

Gain comprehensive knowledge and hands-on expertise in cloud security with this globally recognized certification program. Designed for IT and cybersecurity professionals, the CCSP course equips you with advanced skills across six critical domains, ensuring you are fully prepared to design, manage, and secure cloud environments in line with regulatory standards.

 We can organize this training at your preferred date and location. Contact Us!

Prerequisites

  • A minimum of 5 years of full-time paid IT work experience, including 3 years in information security and 1 year in one or more CCSP CBK domains
  • Holding a CISSP or CCSK certification can waive part of the experience requirement
  • Candidates without the full experience may become an Associate of ISC2 after passing the exam, gaining 6 years to fulfill experience requirements

Who Should Attend

Designed for experienced professionals in cybersecurity, cloud architecture, compliance, and risk management. Ideal roles include:

  • Cloud Security Architects
  • IT Security Managers
  • Cybersecurity Analysts
  • Systems Engineers and Auditors involved in cloud compliance

What You Will Learn

By the end of this training, you will have gained knowledge and skills in the following areas:

  • Understand cloud architecture models and reference frameworks
  • Master advanced data protection techniques (encryption, masking, tokenization)
  • Assess infrastructure risks and implement virtualization security controls
  • Integrate application security best practices into cloud deployments
  • Comprehend global legal, regulatory, and risk frameworks in cloud environments

Training Outline

On August 1, 2022, (ISC)² will refresh the CCSP credential exam.
