About this course
The Certified Cloud Security Officer (CCSO) course is a comprehensive program designed to equip IT professionals with the knowledge and skills required to secure cloud environments. Spanning over 15 hours of in-depth training, the course covers every critical aspect of cloud security, from foundational concepts to advanced implementation strategies. Participants begin with an introduction to cloud computing and its architectural principles, exploring key terminology, service models, and deployment approaches. They will then assess cloud risks, analyze governance frameworks, and examine legal implications that impact global cloud operations.
Technical proficiency is developed through modules on virtualization, technical design, and managing information security, including encryption, data protection, and secure data lifecycle management. Students will learn best practices in data center operations, interoperability, and portability to ensure resilient, adaptable cloud infrastructures. The course delves into traditional security measures, business continuity and disaster recovery (BCM/DR), and incident response planning to prepare for real-world scenarios.
Specialized focus areas include application security, identity and access management, auditing, and compliance with leading industry standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, and PCI-DSS. By blending theoretical knowledge with practical controls from the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), CCSO ensures participants are prepared to design, manage, and audit secure cloud systems effectively.
Upon completion, learners will be able to navigate the complex security landscape of cloud computing, safeguard critical assets, and align cloud strategies with regulatory requirements.
