Cloud Security Alliance launches ‘Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge’

The Cloud Security Alliance has unveiled the industry’s first user certification program for secure cloud computing. The Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) is designed to ensure that a broad range of professionals with a responsibility related to cloud computing have a demonstrated awareness of the security threats and best practices for securing the cloud.

“Cloud represents the shift to compute as a utility and is ushering in a new generation of information technology. Critical services are now being provided via the cloud, which is creating a mandate for cloud security skills across the spectrum of IT-related professions,” said Jim Reavis, CSA executive director. “The CSA is providing a low cost certification that establishes a robust baseline of cloud security knowledge. When combined with existing professional certifications, the CCSK helps provide necessary assurance of user competency in this important time of transition.”

Online testing will be available starting Sept 1st 2010. The CSA will offer discount pricing of $195 through Dec 31st; regular pricing at $295 begins January 1st.
