About this Course
The Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) gives a broad overview of cloud security and allows you to gain critical insights into issues such as data security, key management, and identity and access management.
The CCSK Foundation session starts with a detailed description of cloud computing and business requirements (governance, risk management, compliance, and legal) based on standards such as NIST and ISO/IEC. The session then moves into more technical security issues such as encryption, Identity Management, assessment of Public and Private Clouds, securing corporate data in the public cloud, and securing private clouds.
The CCSK Plus builds on the Foundation class (DAYS 1-2 as outlined above) with a third day of training including expanded material and extensive hands-on labs. Learners will be able to apply their knowledge from the lectures by performing a series of exercises to bring a fictional organization securely into the cloud.
Cloud GRC is a 2-day course delivering students a workshop environment in which they create and execute an audit plan based on their security policy. Students work to identify and assess risks within their own environments based on internal documentation as well as Cloud Security Alliance, NIST, and vendor guidance papers. The course is approximately a 50/50 split between lecture and hands-on activities. This body of knowledge was developed by Intrinsec trainers in response to former CCSK Plus learners.
