CCSP is a cloud-focused security certification for experienced security pros offered by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, or (ISC)2. CCSP stands for Certified Cloud Security Professional, and it’s one of a suite of certs offered by (ISC)2, a nonprofit focused on training and certifying cybersecurity professionals.
While (ISC)2 has been offering certifications since the 1980s, CCSP is a relatively new cert on the scene: it was rolled out at the RSA Conference in 2015 and has grown more popular since as more and more enterprises aim to securely move storage, infrastructure, and applications to the cloud.
