Course Description

Prepare for the Mile2® Certified Cloud Security Officer (CCSO) certification and build practical, job-ready skills for securing cloud environments.

Cloud adoption moves fast—but governance, risk, and compliance gaps are where organizations get hurt. In this course, you’ll learn how to design and manage cloud security programs that align security controls with business requirements, audit expectations, and real-world threats.

What you’ll learn

  • Build a cloud security governance model (policies, roles, accountability, shared responsibility)

  • Apply risk management and control selection to cloud workloads

  • Implement and validate identity and access management (IAM) concepts and access controls

  • Strengthen data protection practices (classification, encryption, key management concepts)

  • Support auditing, compliance, and reporting for cloud environments

  • Improve monitoring, incident response, and operational security in the cloud

Who this course is for

  • Security professionals moving into cloud security leadership/oversight roles

  • GRC, audit, and compliance practitioners supporting cloud programs

  • Cloud/IT professionals who need a structured security and governance approach

Included

Video-based training and exam-prep support. If your enrollment includes an exam-prep resource or simulator, details will be provided in the course or via Mile2® instructions (as applicable). You’ll also learn practical approaches for vendor evaluation, security baselines, policy enforcement, reporting, and communicating cloud risk to stakeholders clearly and effectively.

This course enlightened me to many things I should be aware of as a business continuity professional. I especially liked the section on business continuity

By Eugene Dorns on 2/28/2024

The course had a lot of in-depth information and although the labs were not available they were very helpful in tying the information together. The course could be updated.

By Frederick Catoe on 1/6/2024

So far, the course has provided very helpful information about working in the cloud environment.

By Derek Foxley on 8/29/2022

The instructor clearly knows what he is teaching and it is nice to hear the practical application tips he has throughout the course if you are listening carefully.

By Dmytro Lanovskyi on 8/8/2022

This is a brilliant, professional, and comprehensive course that I enjoyed—not going too much into depth and details, yet covering all domains necessary for the certification. It's also vendor-neutral, so I'd recommend it for those making the first steps in Cloud Security. Good stuff, right? :)) I cut 0.5 stars because labs are not available in the Udemy course, and the course is not adopted to the platform in that regard (even though I can understand the possible reasons behind it).

By Anonymized User on 6/16/2020

Yes, the course content is very vast, with labs and includes industry best practices. The coverage of the domains is very good and it includes almost every aspect of cloud security.

By Kevin Scott on 1/22/2020

Good information and a lot of detail. Very good technical foundation for those interested in taking the CCSP test. Even the taped videos of the labs were useful.

By George J. Dormanski on 9/30/2019

This was a very good course. The instructor was very knowledgeable and there is a wealth of information that I can use moving forward.

By John Lauderdale on 2/9/2019

The course did a great job covering Cloud security topics. I listened to it a 2x speed and found it easy to follow along. I now have more confidence when discussing cloud security. Very good course!

By Rodgers Muyuya on 7/28/2018

The course is precisely what I need to gain cloud security skills against a background of an ever increasing move to the cloud.
