Shankar Chebrolu Director of Security Architecture at Red Hat and President of CSA Triangle Chapter The CCSK reflects both the operational knowledge of the CCM (Cloud Controls Matrix) as well as the strategic goals for the CSA. The CCM itself is a superset of many existing security control standards, which makes the CCSK all the more relevant to today's security environment. John Checco President Emeritus for the New York Metro InfraGard Members Alliance I'm extremely grateful to the Cloud Security Alliance for taking up the Zero Trust banner with the delivery of the CCZT, the world's first authentic, non-vendor-specific training and certificate that delivers the knowledge needed to understand the core concepts of Zero Trust. The sheer volume of passionate volunteers CSA has been able to bring together to collaborate on the development of Zero Trust tools and best practices is incredibly exciting. John Kindervag Creator of Zero Trust, Chief Evangelist at Illumio I found the threat intelligence training in CCZT most relevant to my role as it provided crucial knowledge to help me stay ahead of emerging threats. Rich Mogull Senior Vice President, Cloud Security at FireMon With Zero Trust becoming a key competence for IT professionals, CCZT will become an essential prerequisite enabling a proper understanding of what Zero Trust is and how to implement it. Paul Simmonds CEO, Global Identity Foundation & Board Member CSA UK Chapter Zero Trust is a game changer and is going to be a focus of interest for security professionals. To keep up with the evolving interests, I highly recommend completing the Zero Trust Training online course before taking the CCZT. The training courses give the knowledge needed to understand the core concepts of Zero Trust and pass a challenging exam. CCZT is not an easy exam. I recommend reading all of the provided study materials, and then reading them again.
