As organizations migrate to the cloud, they need information security professionals who are cloud-savvy. The CCSK certificate is widely recognized as the standard of expertise for cloud security. It gives you a cohesive and vendor-neutral understanding of how to secure data in the cloud, which will prepare you to earn cloud credentials specific to certain vendors or job functions.
What are the benefits of earning your CCSK?
Who should earn their CCSK?
The CCSK is designed for any IT professional working in cloud computing. For security professionals, it’s a no-brainer. We also see non-security professionals get value out of it, particularly developers, IT operations, and audit/compliance since the CCSK is really designed to give you a well-rounded view of cloud security.
The CCSK Covers
CCSK was developed by the Cloud Security Alliance to facilitate a common understanding of cloud security concepts, which should increase the quality of risk decisions taken. By now, CCSK is the most recognized independent cloud security certification world-wide. Every professional involved in selecting or adopting cloud solutions, and every team that they are a member of, will find that the CCSK speeds up taking the right decisions. CCSK is also the basis for a lot of new cloud provider certifications.
The CCSK credential is one of the highest-paying certifications in the IT industry. It was reported in Certification Magazine that the average annual salary for CCSK certified employees was $149,760.00. With the demand for CCSK professionals and the lucrative salaries, it’s easy to see why earning this certification is definitely worth it.
