Why this course exists
To develop cloud security skills with method, a common language and execution capability, while also supporting preparation for the certification exam.
In many organisations, cloud adoption accelerates faster than the ability to ensure architecture and design, data protection, access control, platform and infrastructure security, operations and compliance in shared environments.
The CCSP® exam is associated with cloud security competencies. The course helps participants consolidate knowledge and practice in the main areas assessed, through a structured preparation approach.
What this course enables you to do
Design cloud security
Consolidate architecture and design principles for cloud services, including criteria to assess providers and shared responsibility models.
Protect data and workloads
Apply concepts and controls for data security, applications and infrastructure in cloud environments, with a focus on risk and evidence.
Operate with control
Strengthen operations security, continuity/DR and operational practices consistent with security and audit requirements.
Manage risk and compliance
Understand legal, risk and compliance topics in cloud environments, supporting decisions and privacy and contracting requirements.
Topics and competence areas addressed throughout the course
Cloud concepts
Architecture and design
Cloud data security
Cloud platform and infrastructure security

Value for the organisation
- Stronger common terminology and consistent criteria for cloud security, reducing ambiguity in decision-making.
- Greater ability to assess risk, prioritise controls and justify decisions in cloud architectures and services.
- Improved operational maturity, including data, platforms, infrastructure, applications, operations and continuity.
- Professionals better prepared to articulate security, risk and compliance with technical teams and management.
Introduction
The CCSP Exam Preparation Course is professional training in cloud security, intended for professionals who wish to prepare for the CCSP® certification exam.
The course supports professionals involved in the transition to and maintenance of secure cloud-based solutions and services, with a focus on designing, implementing, managing and protecting data, applications and infrastructure, using security practices, policies and procedures applicable in a professional context.
The CCSP Exam Preparation Course addresses the main areas assessed in the exam, including Cloud Concepts, Architecture and Design, Cloud Data Security, Cloud Platform and Infrastructure Security, Cloud Application Security, Cloud Security Operations and Legal, Risk and Compliance. Consolidation is carried out through discussion, original exercises by thematic area and Behaviour® simulation, aimed at transforming knowledge into exam performance.
The training includes proprietary support resources, guided discussion, exercises by thematic area and a final exam simulation.
Note: the term “cloud” is intentionally used in this programme due to its consistency with the professional terminology of the field.
