The CCSK training – Foundation course is based on the CCSK exam and the CSA Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Cloud Computing.
The Cloud Computing Security Knowledge- Foundation class provides students a comprehensive one day review of cloud security fundamentals and prepares them to take the Cloud Security Alliance CCSK certificate exam. Starting with a detailed description of cloud computing, the course covers all major domains in the Guidance document from the Cloud Security Alliance, and the recommendations from the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA).
This class is geared towards security professionals, but is also useful for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of cloud security. We recommend attendees have a basic understanding of security fundamentals, such as firewalls, secure development, encryption, and identity management.
