Certificate Of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK)

Back in 2010, Cloud Security Alliance introduced what might have been the first cloud-focused security accreditation. At the time, it looked like the cloud had the potential to become a major delivery paradigm for IT services, but the potential security pitfalls were glaring.

The Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge is still highly valued in the channel for validating awareness and understanding of security threats and best practices for securing the cloud.

According to a salary survey conducted by Certification Magazine, CCSK holders in the US saw an average annual salary in 2016 of $149,760, the highest compensation for any certification the publication evaluated.
