Certified Cloud Security Engineer

What is Certified Cloud Security Engineer (C|CSE)

EC-Council’s Certified Cloud Security Engineer (C|CSE) course is specially curated by cloud security professionals in association with renowned subject matter experts to deliver a mix of vendor-neutral and vendor-specific cloud security concepts. The vendor-neutral concept focuses on cloud security practices, technology, framework, and principles. In contrast, the vendor-specific aspect helps equip individuals with practical skills to configure specific platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP, among others. This offers candidates a well-balanced mix of both theoretical as well as practical skills. In addition, advanced topics also cover modules on securing cloud infrastructure by implementing regulations and standards to maintain security. EC-Council’s cloud security course is mapped to the real-time job roles and responsibilities of cloud security professionals and is ideal for beginners as well as experienced cybersecurity professionals.
