The Cloud Security Alliance released CCSK v5, a comprehensive cloud security training and certificate for security professionals. It covers topics like incident response, data encryption, and application security. The program complements other education and provides in-depth information on cloud architecture, workloads, AI, and more. The exam is 120 minutes long and costs $445, with fee waivers for veterans.

From the meeting notes, I have extracted the following key takeaways:

– The Cloud Security Alliance has released the Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) v5, which provides vendor-neutral, cloud security training and certification. It is designed for security analysts, compliance managers, security engineers, architects, and administrators.
– The CCSK v5 training covers topics such as cloud incident response, application security, data encryption, cloud architecture, cloud native security, workloads, virtual networking, data protection, DevSecOps, zero trust, generative AI, serverless/function-as-a-service, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), automation, identity and access management, and incident response.
– The Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing v5 provides source material for the CCSK v5. Training modules, a prep kit, online self-paced options, and instructor-led classes are available for students.
– The exam for the CCSK v5 is 120 minutes long, with a cost of $445. However, the fee is waived for veterans. Additionally, the exam includes “vital information” about managing risks, achieving compliance, organizational cloud security strategies, and understanding the shared responsibility model between the cloud provider and customer. Lastly, the generative AI tool CCSK Orb has been included in CCSK v5.
