Fighting back against the
baddies: Leading the way for
cloud computing security
The Certified Cloud Security Professional
(CCSP) is a global credential that was co-
created by nonprofit associations (ISC)² and
the Cloud Security Alliance, leading stewards
for information security and cloud computing
security respectively. Intelligent CIO spoke
to Faisal Malik of (ISC)² about the role of the
Certified Cloud Security Professional and the
growing challenges of cloud security.

What are the key attributes required for an effective
Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP)?
It’s awarded to people who demonstrate practical knowledge
and experience reflecting the most current best practices
for securing cloud computing environments from design
to architecture, operation and service orchestration. Cloud
computing is not just changing IT systems, but also the
opportunities companies pursue. CCSPs are therefore
supporting a phenomenal and fast-paced shift in how
business is done, creating demand for people who are
technically competent, eternally curious, ruthlessly organised,
and sometimes even politically astute.
