Who should attend
This class is geared towards security professionals but is also useful for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of cloud security and who want to pass the CCSK v5 exam.
Prerequisites
The course is designed to appeal to a wide range of skill levels, but we highly recommend a solid understanding of security fundamentals, such as firewalls, secure development, encryption, and identity management, and for the labs, experience making SSH connections. While most of the labs occur in a web browser, you will need to connect to Linux cloud servers and copy and paste a handful of command lines.
Course Objectives
This course has been fully updated to version 5 of the CCSK. Version 5 features much updated content, including DevSecOps, Zero Trust, GenAI, and more. Furthermore, the labs also give a good introduction in practical AWS and/or MS Azure security.
Classroom
The three-day CCSK classroom course covers the entire CCSK version 5 study guide. Practical exercises reinforce the learning. On top of that, audience interaction is also widely considered as useful.
Online Training
The online version is taught as a 2 hours a day, 5 day online class with additional help before, during and after the course week. The class hours are 16:00 to 18:00 CE(S)T.
