Hi everyone.
Welcome to the Cloud Platform and Infrastructure Security for CCSP course.
This certification prep course will help you prepare for the CCSP exam,
and it accounts for 17% of the CCSP exam weight.
My name is Lyron Andrews.
I have a Master of Science in Technology Management from Colombia
and a Doctor of Education from Teachers College,
Columbia.
I have worked in technology as a director,
manager, and executive for over three decades.
In 2020,
Sophos reported that 70% of the organizations hosting data workloads
in a public cloud experienced a security incident.
Their analysis found that 66% of the organizations leave back doors open
to attackers through misconfigured cloud services,
and multi‑cloud consumers report more incidents than
those using a single platform.
Are you planning to consume or currently consuming cloud services?
It is essential to consider the building blocks associated with cloud
platform and infrastructure security in either case.
In addition to preparing for the exam, this course,
Cloud Platform and Infrastructure Security for CCSP
will assist you in categorizing, analyzing,
and remediating risk associated with platform and infrastructure elements.
First,
you'll explore the primary cloud platform and infrastructure functions and risk.
Next,
you'll discover how to identify secure data center
design and supporting controls.
While most organizations are not building a data center,
we have to have confidence in the data center of our cloud provider.
Finally,
we'll learn how to prepare for and implement cloud‑based
business continuity and disaster recovery.
When you're finished with this course,
you'll have the skills and knowledge of platform and
infrastructure security needed for the CCSP exam.
Let's get started.
