You’ll learn advanced technical skills in cloud security administration from this course – from designing data center-sized cloud networks to managing operations and actively configuring security settings. Take this course to gain first-hand experience locking down apps and infrastructure according to industry best practices for cloud network security administration.

Although this course is best for people already doing cloud network security administration, it can also help catapult brand new IT professionals to advanced positions of responsibility. Typically, people already working as cloud architects, cloud engineers, cloud security specialists and analysts – or anyone who wants to become one – take this CCSP course.

Yes, this advanced cloud security administration training is directly related to the CCSP certification from (ISC)2. The CCSP is a very well-known and well-regarded IT industry certification – in fact, a majority of all IT professionals plan to earn it. It’s so good that even non-security personnel aim to earn it.

Like so many cybersecurity courses from CBT Nuggets, this course is designed with your practical knowledge in mind first, and the certification exam second. That means that although you should plan to earn the CCSP after this course, you can also use this CCSP course to help prepare for different cybersecurity certifications.

You should take this CCSP training because the CCSP is one of the most robust and thorough cybersecurity certifications in the industry. (ISC)2, the professional organization that issues the CCSP, has been validating the skills and experience of IT professionals in information security for years and joining their ranks is a great career move.
