The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), a vendor-neutral industry association, established the Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK), which demonstrates knowledge of the leading cloud security guidance documents.
While many people take the CCSK for its certification value, most actually report that it helps them be more productive in adopting the right level and model of cloud computing.
By understanding the essential cloud and cloud security concepts and applying these in conversations on IT initiatives, consensus is reached quicker. Less time is wasted on discussion and doomed cloud initiatives. Proper cloud adoption and governance is accelerated.
Most importantly, the body of knowledge facilitates a common language around cloud and cloud security. This training is fully aligned with CCSK v4.
My online CCSK program helps you to master the CCSK body of knowledge in record time from the comfort of your home (or office).
You can start at any time, and then participate in all the online sprints and focus sessions. These are regularly scheduled, as well as recorded.
Here’s how the online sprint works: the content of all the domains is split into five webinar sessions of approximately 120 minutes each with an additional e-learning support site.
The five sessions are a logical grouping of all the domains in the CCSK Body of Knowledge.
Each session has presentations, quizzes to test your knowledge, Q&As and suggestions for study, practical exercises and application to your current job. The sessions are covered over a period of two weeks.
On top of the live sessions, there is a membership site featuring a private support group (sneak preview here, and a brief overview video here) with your instructor (me: Peter van Eijk), a group channel, and additional practical resources. There is also an option for practical lab work by building a secure application on Amazon Web Services and/or Microsoft Azure.
If you attend all sessions, and do a little preparation in between, you should be able to pass the on-line CCSK exam immediately after the last session. The price of the exam is included in the course, and you can schedule that session at your own convenience.
I have delivered CCSK training more than 150 times now, across the world as well as many times online.
The online instructor led sprints start six times a year. Each sprint has five sessions. On top of that there are focus sessions with Q&A. For the up-to-date schedule consult this page over at the courseware page.
Every sprint has the following sessions (live and recorded) | Session duration |

Section 1 Introduction and Architecture. Essential characteristics, service models, deployment models. | Two hours |
Section 2: Cloud Governance and Strategies. Risk, Audit and Compliance. Organisation Management. | Two hours |
