Certified Cloud Security Engineer Program (CCSE)

provides an introduction to cloud security and serves as a foundation for the following modules. In this module, learners can gain a
comprehensive understanding of cloud security concepts, principles, and common threats.

Emphasizes the security of platform and infrastructure in the cloud. Cloud infrastructure is vulnerable to attacks from various sources, such as insider threats, external attackers, and malware. Therefore, learners need to learn how to secure cloud infrastructure and platform to protect against these attacks

focuses on application security in the cloud. Applications hosted in the cloud can be accessed from anywhere, which means that the potential attack surface is increased. Thus, learners will learn about secure coding practices, cloud application architecture, and security testing methods.

Examines the security of data stored in the cloud. As data is one of the most valuable assets in the cloud, it is essential to protect it from various threats such as data breaches, data loss, and data leaks. In this module, learners will gain an understanding of data security issues, such as data classification, data encryption, and data loss prevention.

discusses the operation security of cloud-based systems. The operations of cloud computing systems need to be secured against various
threats such as human error, insider threats, and denial-of-service attacks. Learners will learn how to ensure the security of the cloud-based system’s operation, including securing network access, securing server administration, and configuring secure backup systems.

focused on penetration testing in the cloud. Penetration testing is a critical aspect of cloud security testing. In this module, learners will learn about various penetration testing techniques, tools, and methods that are commonly used to evaluate the security of cloud-based systems.

Emphasizes incident detection and response in the cloud. The module aims to educate learners on how to detect and respond to security
incidents in cloud computing systems. Learners will learn about threat detection, security event analysis, incident response procedures, and remediation strategies.

Covers forensics investigation in the cloud. In this module, learners will learn how to conduct digital forensics investigations in cloud-based systems. They will learn about the principles of digital forensics, cloud forensics, and the various tools and techniques used in forensic investigations.

Addresses business continuity and disaster recovery in the cloud. Learners will learn how to develop and implement a disaster recovery plan for cloud-based systems. They will learn about business continuity planning, disaster recovery strategies, and the importance of backup and recovery.

Focuses on governance, risk management, and compliance in the cloud. In this module, learners will gain an understanding of the legal,
regulatory, and compliance requirements that apply to cloud-based systems. They will also learn about risk management and governance frameworks that can be used to manage cloud-based systems effectively.

Covers standards, policies, and legal issues in the cloud. In this module, learners will gain knowledge about cloud security policies and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST, and CSA. They will also learn about the legal issues that arise from the use of cloud-based systems, such as data privacy, data protection, and intellectual property rights.

Focuses on governance, risk management, and compliance in the cloud. In this module, learners will gain an understanding of the legal,
regulatory, and compliance requirements that apply to cloud-based systems. They will also learn about risk management and governance frameworks that can be used to manage cloud-based systems effectively.

In summary, these modules provide a comprehensive understanding of cloud security, covering different aspects of security, from infrastructure to application security, data security, operation security, and penetration testing. By learning these modules, learners can gain knowledge and skills to secure their cloud-based systems against various threats This course covers major forensic investigation scenarios that enable you to acquire hands-on experience on various forensic investigation techniques and standard tools necessary to successfully carry out a computer forensic investigation.
