CCSK Classroom Course (CS)

“Peter not just introduced us to Cloud Security, but the CCSK Classroom course also provided the wider context of the ways in which we can articulate the value of cloud computing” Peter HJ van Eijk

Hundreds of security managers, IT architects, solution architects and their team members have done my CCSK classroom course. They found it the most helpful and inspiring way to start mastering the cloud and cloud security. (Read more on CCSK and the body of knowledge)

More on what participants learned from this course.

Master the cloud and cloud security

The three day CCSK classroom course covers the entire CCSK version 4 body of knowledge. Practical exercises reinforce the learning. On top of that, audience interaction is also widely considered as useful. (Interested in an online CCSK course: click here).

This course has been fully updated to version 4 of the CCSK. Version 4 features much updated content, including DevOps, big data, containers and more. Furthermore, the labs also give a good introduction in practical AWS security. A selection of the labs for MS Azure and OpenStack is available on request.

Your result

After three days of cloud conversation, you will be in a very good position to attain the CCSK certification. And what is more, your job effectiveness will also increase. As a result, it will be easier to speed up cloud projects that have value, and easier to stop projects that don’t. That in itself merits spending time on the CCSK classroom course.

Here are a few things my participants got out of the training (unedited extract from the evaluation form). Do you want results like these too?

  • “Better understanding of the cloud architecture and the interrelationships between the different components (layers, domains, models).”
  • “Cloud is much more complex than most people appreciate … even me as an informed professional”
  • “Conceptual basics of cloud computing, way of how to study the book (and what not to study) and the way exam questions are asked.”
  • “Helping to show how to define the value of cloud, including the risk profile to present to stakeholders. ”
  • “How much responsibility stays with the consumer in IaaS. The labs were useful in demonstrating a real world example. ”
  • “Got a good introduction to all topics needed to take the certification for CCSK.”
  • “New way of ‘thinking cloud’ (e.g. cattle vs pet, use service as offered or take another one, …) was very well explained with real-life examples. Eye-opening! ”

What participants say

Shanthi Vijay, Information Technology Agency, government of Oman. “I have attended several of Peter’s courses. They are always very good with practical knowledge on cloud computing, and this is helping us very much in our development of the Oman government cloud services.”
IT architect, London City, Canary Wharf: “Peter clearly has a great deal of specific industry experience and draws on this to provide real-world examples. Always happy to divert the conversation out of the course where relevant and interesting within the cloud computing context.  I think this was particularly useful and observed this providing value to the entire group.”
Security operations manager: “The course provides a fantastic overview of Cloud and was an eye opener to me.  The benefits of cloud were made clear, but so too were the limitations and considerations of the service. I would recommend this course to everyone involved in Cloud from hands on IT to Executive. This was one of the most informative courses I have attended.”
