Here's
how we answer them.
The Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) is the original vendor-neutral cloud security credential, issued by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) since 2010. It validates foundational knowledge of cloud security across every major platform and is widely recognized as the baseline credential for cloud security roles.
The class runs three days, 9 AM to 5 PM EST, delivered live online by a CSA-authorized instructor. Two days of lectures cover all 12 domains of CSA’s Security Guidance v5, followed by a full day of instructor-guided AWS labs.
Yes. Your registration includes a CCSK v5 exam voucher with two attempts and a two-year expiration window. The exam itself is scheduled and taken on your own time after class.
The CCSK exam is 60 multiple-choice questions, open-book, delivered online. You have 120 minutes to complete it, and the passing score is 80%.
No formal prerequisites. CCSK v5 Plus is designed for any experience level, and you do not need prior AWS experience for the labs since they are instructor-guided. A basic understanding of security fundamentals (firewalls, encryption, IAM) is helpful but not required.
Anyone responsible for cloud security who wants both the certification and hands-on practice, including security analysts, cloud and software engineers, architects, auditors, GRC professionals, product managers, and IT leaders. Plus is especially well-suited for practitioners who want to build cloud security muscle memory alongside the credential.
Plus is the right call if you want hands-on practice alongside the certification. CCSK Plus is a three-day version that includes everything in Foundation, all 12 v5 domains taught over two days, plus a third day of instructor-guided AWS labs. CCSK Foundation is the right choice if you want the certification and core knowledge but do not need the lab work.
Day three is instructor-guided AWS labs covering six exercises: core account security, IAM and monitoring, network and instance security, encryption and storage, application security and federation, and a risk and provider assessment exercise. You also receive Azure self-paced lab instructions to repeat the exercises on a second platform after class.
The CCSK is a foundational, certificate-level credential that proves you understand cloud security concepts, with no experience requirement. The CCSP is a senior certification requiring five years of work experience and covers cloud architecture, operations, and risk at greater depth. Many professionals earn the CCSK first as a stepping stone to the CCSP.
No. The CCSK is not currently listed on the DoD 8140 Approved Qualifications Matrix V2.1. For DoD 8140 cloud security work roles, the CCSP from ISC2 is the relevant credential to pursue.
No. The CCSK certificate does not expire, and there are no CPE credits or renewal fees required to maintain it. CSA periodically releases new versions of the exam (v5 launched July 2024), so it is worth upgrading to stay aligned with the latest cloud security guidance.
Your voucher includes two attempts. If you have used both and still have not passed, you can retake the full class within one year at no cost so you can sharpen up before another exam attempt. A second exam token would be purchased separately if needed.
The CCSK v5 Plus boot camp qualifies for 21 CPE credits. Those credits can be applied toward maintaining other security certifications you may hold, including CISSP, CCSP, CISM, and similar.
