Preface
Cloud security is critically important for enterprises as the adoption of cloud infrastructure and services continues to grow at a rapid pace. As businesses move more and more of their data, services, and applications to the cloud, they need talented and certified professionals to help them secure these cloud environments. Today, cloud computing has moved from being a nice-to-have to being a core competency in the enterprise.
This has led to a high demand for knowledgeable and talented cloud security engineers and architects who can help organizations design, build, and operate secure cloud environments. This, combined with the myriad of security compromises out there, is creating challenges for organizations of all types. Cloud certifications can help organizations identify and develop critical skills for implementing various cloud initiatives. Certifications can also help individuals demonstrate their technical knowledge, skills, and abilities to potential employers to advance their careers.
The goal of this book is to help you pass the Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) certification by ISC2. The CCSP certification is the most sought-after global credential and represents the highest standard for cloud security expertise. It confirms your ability to apply best practices to cloud security architecture, design, operations, and service orchestration.
As you progress through this book, you’ll engage with practical and straightforward explanations of cloud security concepts designed to educate you on the challenges security professionals face in cloud environments. The chapters in this book cover the domains of topics relevant to the CCSP exam, including developing a comprehensive cloud security policy, conducting risk assessments for cloud deployments, implementing identity and access management solutions, securing data in cloud storage, and designing disaster recovery plans. Each chapter will guide you through scenarios that test your understanding of the CCSP domains, from architectural considerations to legal and compliance frameworks.
By the conclusion of this study guide, you’ll possess a solid understanding of cloud security principles and practices, as well as the confidence needed to apply this knowledge in your current role. You will also be well prepared to take the CCSP exam.
Who This Book Is For
This book is for those who are preparing to take the CCSP exam. It is recommended that you have at least five years of experience in IT, with two of those years being focused on aspects such as cloud security, application security, privacy, or data governance.
What This Book Covers
, , introduces the most relevant cloud computing characteristics and concepts with regard to cloud service models, cloud deployment models, and the different types of stakeholders in cloud computing.
