Description

The CCSK Plus builds on the foundation class with expanded material and offers extensive hands-on activities that reinforce classroom instruction. Students engage in a scenario of bringing a fictional organization securely into the cloud, which gives them the opportunity to apply their knowledge by performing a series of activities that would be required in a real-world environment. Students will come away ready to earn their Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK).

What Are The Benefits Of CCSK Plus Training?

• • Get hands-on experience securing an organization in the cloud.
  • Prepare to earn the widely recognized standard of expertise for cloud security, the Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK).
  • Learn and practice applying the knowledge from all 14 domains of the CSA Security Guidance v4.

Prerequisites:

• We recommend for all prospective CCSK PLUS students to have a basic understanding of IT security.
• This training is only intended for the individuals who are preparing for the CCSK exam.

The CCSK Plus builds on the foundation class with expanded material and offers extensive hands-on activities that reinforce classroom instruction. Students engage in a scenario of bringing a fictional organization securely into the cloud, which gives them the opportunity to apply their knowledge by performing a series of activities that would be required in a real-world environment. Below is an outline of the lab material covered in the CCSK Plus class. 

Core Account Security

 Students learn what to configure in the first 5 minutes of opening a new cloud account and enable security controls such as MFA, basic monitoring, and IAM. 

IAM and Monitoring In-Depth

 Attendees expand their work on the first lab and implement more-complex identity management and monitoring. This includes expanding IAM with Attribute Based Access Controls, implementing security alerting, and understanding how to structure enterprise-scale IAM and monitoring.

Network and Instance Security

Students create a virtual network (VPC) and implement a baseline security configuration. They also learn how to securely select and launch a virtual machine (instance), run a vulnerability assessment in the cloud, and connect to the instance.

Encryption and Storage Security

Students expand their deployment by adding a storage volume encrypted with a customer managed key. They also learn how to secure snapshots and other data.

Application Security and Federation

Students finish the technical labs by completely building out a 2-tier application and implementing federated identity using OpenID.

Risk and Provider Assessment

Students use the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix and STAR registry to evaluate risk and select a cloud provider.
