The Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) exam is a certification exam designed to test an applicant’s knowledge of the principles of securing cloud-based environments.
It was developed by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, Inc. or (ISC)2 and the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).
To qualify for this cybersecurity certification, you must pass the exam and have at least five years of cumulative, paid work experience in information technology, of which three years must be in information security, and one year in one or more of the six domains of the CCSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK).
The CCSP exam is a 125-question, multiple-choice exam with a four-hour time limit. The exam has a total of 1000 possible points and passing requires a score of at least 700. Questions are not equally distributed among the six domains of the exam.
