Two of the industry’s most highly regarded cloud security credentials are the CCSP from (ISC)² and the CCSK from Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). Both offer a comprehensive education on cloud security fundamentals, but there are important differences. Here’s a quick breakdown of each.
CCSP (Certified Cloud Security Professional). The CCSP is for IT and information security leaders seeking to prove their understanding of cybersecurity and securing critical assets in the cloud. It shows you have the advanced technical skills and knowledge to design, manage and secure data, applications and infrastructure in the cloud.
Roles that typically require a CCSP include Cloud Computing Analyst, Cloud Administrator, Cloud Architect, Cloud Engineer, Enterprise Architect, Security Administrator, Security Architect and Systems Engineer.
To qualify for the CCSP, you must have a minimum of 5 years cumulative paid work experience in information technology, of which 3 years must be in information security and 1 year in 1 or more of the 6 domains of the CCSP CBK.
CCSK (Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge). The CCSK is administered by CSA and certifies competency in key cloud security areas.
Roles that typically use the knowledge gained through the CCSK include Cloud Computing Analyst, Cloud Administrator, Cloud Architect, Cloud Engineer, Enterprise Architect, Security Administrator, Security Architect and Systems Engineer.
In contrast to the CCSP, the CCSK has no experience requirements. You earn the certificate by passing the test. The CCSK test asks participants to demonstrate knowledge of three key documents: the CSA Guidance, the CSA Cloud Control Matrix and the ENISA report.
