Establish a vendor-neutral baseline with CCSK
The Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) is widely recognized as the gold standard of expertise for cloud security. It gives you a cohesive and vendor-neutral understanding of how to secure data in the cloud. With no required years of experience, it perfectly positions you to expand this foundation later with other vendor-specific training.
CSA recently updated the CCSK to Version 5. This industry-essential cloud security certificate now incorporates the latest advancements in organizational management, incident response, cloud-native security, workload, network security, security monitoring, data security, AI, and Zero Trust. The training and exam balance foundational knowledge with an exploration of specialized topics, emphasizing the practical application of security principles in real-world scenarios.
To top it off, professionals earning CCSK v5 also retain permanent access to the first of its kind CCSK Chatbot, named CCSK Orb. This is a unique tool to help security professionals learn the CCSK body of knowledge as well as providing ongoing assistance in daily challenges with its unique interactive capabilities.

Take advantage of an award-winning credential
The Certificate of Competence in Zero Trust (CCZT) is the industry’s first vendor-neutral Zero Trust training and certificate. Building on fundamentals from the CCSK, the CCZT helps security professionals get ahead of the curve and drive Zero Trust implementations within their organizations.
CCZT was recognized as a Cutting Edge Cybersecurity Training at Cyber Defense Magazine’s 12th Annual Global InfoSec Awards, cementing the training and certificate as leaders in the field. The CCZT’s unparalleled curriculum draws from foundational Zero Trust guidance by CISA and NIST, innovative work in the Software Defined Perimeter by CSA Research, and the direct input of renowned Zero Trust experts such as John Kindervag, the creator of the Zero Trust approach.
