Requirements

---

Basic understanding of information security, networking, systems, or IT concepts is recommended, but you do not need a previous security certification.
Familiarity with fundamental cloud concepts such as IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, virtualization, and cloud computing is helpful but not mandatory.
A computer or mobile device with internet access is required to watch the course and access Udemy learning materials.
No specific AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud certification is required; the course uses a vendor-neutral cloud security approach.
Description

---

Prepare for the ISC2 CCSP 2026 exam with a structured, comprehensive approach to cloud security architecture, data protection, infrastructure security, application security, security operations, and legal, risk, and compliance.
The ISC2Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) certification is designed for professionals who need to understand how security principles are applied across modern cloud environments. This course is built around theISC2 CCSP examination outline effective August 1, 2026, and follows all six CCSP domains in sequence.
Rather than treating CCSP as a collection of disconnected definitions, this course focuses on understanding the security decisions behind cloud technologies and applying that knowledge to realistic scenarios.
You will work through all six CCSP domains
Domain 1 - Cloud Concepts, Architecture and Design (17%)
Build a strong foundation in cloud computing concepts, service and deployment models, cloud roles and responsibilities, shared responsibility, virtualization, networking, secure cloud architecture, business continuity, disaster recovery, CSP evaluation, assurance frameworks, and secure design principles.
The course also covers the newAI and Machine Learning content introduced in the August 2026 CCSP outline, including AI-driven threat detection, data-source validation, SOAR, adversarial ML, ethical considerations, and relevant regulatory and framework considerations.
Domain 2 - Cloud Data Security (20%)
Learn how to protect cloud data throughout its lifecycle:Create, Store, Use, Share, Archive, and Destroy.
You'll explore data discovery and classification, data flows, cloud storage architectures, encryption, key management, hashing, tokenization, masking, anonymization, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Information Rights Management (IRM), retention and deletion, legal hold, auditability, traceability, chain of custody, and non-repudiation. Your course also addresses the new AI/ML data protection Requirements

covering dataset and model privacy, validation, and verification.
Domain 3 - Cloud Platform & Infrastructure Security (17%)
Understand the security of the infrastructure underneath cloud services, including physical data centers, networks, compute, virtualization, storage, management planes, secure data center design, risk assessment, security controls, IAM, audit mechanisms, and business continuity and disaster recovery.
You will also learn how concepts such asRTO, RPO, backup and recovery, pilot light, warm standby, active-active architectures, multi-region resilience, and disaster recovery testing apply to cloud security.
Domain 4 - Cloud Application Security (16%)
Explore secure application development and cloud application security from a security professional's perspective.
Topics includeSecure SDLC, OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Security, OWASP LLM security concepts, SANS Top 25, threat modeling, STRIDE, DREAD, PASTA, SAST, DAST, IAST, Software Composition Analysis, API security, WAF, API gateways, sandboxing, containers, Docker, Kubernetes, federated identity, SSO, MFA, and CASB.
Domain 5 - Cloud Security Operations (17%)
Learn how cloud security is implemented and maintained in operational environments.
The course covers secure infrastructure configuration, HSMs, TPMs, virtualization security, hardening, patch management, configuration management, change management, NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001/27002, CIS Controls, COBIT, ITIL, SOC operations, SIEM, logging, threat intelligence, incident response, digital forensics, vulnerability management, and stakeholder communication.
Domain 6 - Legal, Risk and Compliance (13%)
Develop the ability to reason about cloud security from legal, regulatory, governance, and business-risk perspectives.
Topics include jurisdiction, conflicting legislation, eDiscovery, digital forensics, privacy, GDPR, HIPAA, FERPA, PIPEDA, India's DPDPA, audit and compliance, SOC reports, enterprise risk management, data roles, cloud contracts, SLAs, MSAs, Statements of Work, vendor management, cyber insurance, and supply-chain considerations.
Built for the 2026 CCSP exam
The course also includes dedicated exam-focused reviews and final preparation. You will learn how to approach scenario-based questions, think from the perspective of a cloud security professional, manage your time, understand the CAT exam format, recognize common traps, and apply risk-based reasoning when multiple answers appear plausible.
The goal is not simply to memorize terminology. The course is designed to help you understandwhy a security control exists,who is responsible for it,when it should be applied, andhow to reason through cloud security scenarios.
This course is suitable for IT and cybersecurity professionals, cloud engineers, cloud architects, security professionals, administrators, consultants, auditors, risk and compliance professionals, and CCSP certification candidates who want a structured understanding of cloud security.
You do not need to be an expert in every cloud platform to follow the course. The material takes a vendor-neutral approach and focuses on the concepts, frameworks, technologies, and decision-making principles that underpin professional cloud security.
If your goal is to strengthen your understanding of cloud security and prepare systematically for theISC2 CCSP 2026 examination, this course gives you a structured path through the complete six-domain knowledge area.
Start with the fundamentals, build your understanding domain by domain, and finish with an exam-focused cloud security mindset.
