CCSP certification

Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) is a cloud-focused security certification for experienced security pros responsible for applying best practices to cloud security architecture and design. CCSP is offered by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC2), a nonprofit focused on training and certifying cybersecurity professionals.

CCSP was rolled out at RSA in 2015 and has grown in popularity ever since, as enterprises increasingly move storage, infrastructure, and applications to the cloud. According to ISC2, CCSP certification demonstrates that “you have the advanced technical skills and knowledge to design, manage, and secure data, applications, and infrastructure in the cloud using best practices, policies, and procedures.”

According to ISC2, CCSP is best for roles such as cloud architect, cloud engineer, cloud administrator, cloud security analyst, and auditors of cloud services, among others.
