Requirements

Basic understanding of cybersecurity principles Familiarity with fundamental security concepts such as confidentiality, integrity, availability (CIA), access controls, and network security is recommended.

Experience in IT or Information Security (1–2 years preferred) Although not mandatory, having hands-on experience in cloud services, IT infrastructure, or security operations will help learners grasp advanced CCSP topics more effectively.

Familiarity with Cloud Computing Models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) A general awareness of how cloud platforms function (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) will enhance your learning, but all essential concepts will be explained in the course.

No Specific Tools or Software Required You do not need to install any tools or platforms. This course is theory-rich and aligned with the CCSP exam, with additional real-world context and examples.

Description

Embark on your journey to becoming a Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) with this focused and comprehensive course covering Domains 1 and 2 of the (ISC)² CCSP certification exam.In this first installment of the CCSP series, we deep dive into Cloud Concepts, Architecture and Design and Cloud Data Security—two of the most foundational and critical domains in cloud security. Whether you're an IT professional, a security architect, or a cloud engineer, this course will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to understand cloud infrastructure, its security challenges, and the data protection strategies essential for today’s dynamic cloud environments.You will explore cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), deployment architectures (public, private, hybrid, community), and cloud reference architectures such as NIST and ISO frameworks. We’ll also cover key aspects of secure cloud design principles, data classification, data lifecycle phases, encryption methods, tokenization, and cloud-based key management solutions.Each topic is explained clearly with real-world examples, exam-aligned concepts, and visual aids to strengthen your understanding. This course is ideal for those pursuing the CCSP certification or looking to deepen their cloud security expertise.As part of a three-course series, this course sets the stage for deeper mastery of cloud infrastructure, applications, and compliance topics in upcoming modules. By completing this first part, you'll not only cover essential exam content but also gain practical insight that you can apply immediately in your organization’s cloud initiatives.Join now and build a strong foundation in cloud security—one domain at a time.
