Cloud security is the fastest-growing skill set in cybersecurity — and the CCSK from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) is the vendor-neutral certification that proves you have it. Whether you're launching a security career or adding cloud expertise to an existing one, this course takes you from the fundamentals all the way to exam day for the brand-new CCSK version 5.
I believe you learn cloud security by doing cloud security. That's why this course goes beyond the CSA Security Guidance with live AWS demonstrations, hands-on lab activities you can follow in your own free-tier account, knowledge checks after every section, and a full-length CCSK v5 practice exam. Lessons are short, focused, and updated for the January 2026 launch of CCSK version 5 — including the new Zero Trust and AI/GenAI security domains.
In this course, you will learn how to:
- Master cloud computing architectures, service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), and the shared responsibility model
- Build a cloud governance, risk, and compliance program aligned to globally accepted standards
- Secure cloud infrastructure and networks with SDN, segmentation, and secure connectivity
- Protect VMs, containers, and serverless workloads with hardening, patching, and runtime protection
- Implement identity and access management (IAM) — federation, SSO, MFA, and privileged access
- Encrypt and manage data in the cloud with KMS, tokenization, and the data security lifecycle
- Apply DevSecOps, secure the CI/CD pipeline, and defend APIs and cloud applications
- Monitor cloud telemetry, detect threats, and lead cloud incident response and recovery
- Understand Zero Trust and AI/GenAI security considerations in modern cloud environments
- Walk into the open-book CCSK v5 exam with a proven strategy: 60 questions, 120 minutes, 80% to pass
