Cloud Security Training in Lebanon

The CCSK Plus builds on the foundation class with expanded material and offers extensive hands-on activities that reinforce classroom instruction. Students engage in a scenario of bringing a fictional organization securely into the cloud, which gives them the opportunity to apply their knowledge by performing a series of activities that would be required in a real-world environment.

The CCSK Plus Course includes all the modules in the CCSK Foundation course with additional material.

This is a Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) authorized course and NobleProg is an official CSA Training Partner.

This course is delivered by CSA Authorized CCSK Instructors. 

All attendees receive:

• official CSA CCSK Plus course certificates
• official CCSK Foundation Student Handbooks
• 1 CCSK exam voucher and 1 re-attempt exam voucher

This course covers the most current version of the CCSK exam - currently version 4.1.

Cloud Computing Security Knowledge (CCSK) Preparation Course

The CCSK course is intended to provide understanding of security issues and best practices over a broad range of cloud computing domains. As cloud computing is becoming the dominant IT system, CCSK is applicable to a wide variety of IT and information security jobs in virtually every organization. The CCSK is strongly recommended for IT auditors, system administrators, security professionals with at least 5 years of experience

After completing this course, the student will be able to:

• Validate their competence gained through experience in cloud security
• Prepare for the CCSK exam.
• Demonstrate their technical knowledge, skills, and abilities to effectively develop a holistic cloud security program relative to globally accepted standards
• Differentiate themselves from other candidates for desirable employment in the fast-growing cloud security market
• Gain access to valuable career resources, such as tools, networking and ideas exchange with peers
• Protect against threats with qualified professionals who have the expertise to competently design, build, and maintain a secure cloud business environmen

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Description:

This 2-day CCSK Plus course includes all content from the CCSK Foundation course, and expands on it with extensive hands-on labs in a second day of training. Students will learn to apply their knowledge by performing a series of exercises involving a scenario that brings a fictional organization securely into the cloud. After completing this training, students will be well prepared for the CCSK certification exam, sponsored by Cloud Security Alliance. This second day of training includes additional lecture, although students will spend most of their time assessing, building, and securing a cloud infrastructure during the exercises.

Objectives:

This is a two day class that begins with the CCSK- Basic training, followed by a second day of additional content and hands-on activities

Target Audience:

This class is geared towards security professionals, but is also useful for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of cloud security.

CCSP is a global credential born from the expertise of the two industry-leading stewards of information systems and cloud computing security, (ISC)² and CSA. The CCSP credential is appropriate and applicable to cloud security in a global environment. This is especially important given the legal, regulatory and compliance concerns that come with multi-jurisdictional housing of personally identifiable information (PII).

For those who qualify, the CCSP exam will test their competence in the six CCSP domains of the (ISC)² Common Body of Knowledge (CBK), which cover:

• Architectural Concepts & Design Requirements
• Cloud Data Security
• Cloud Platform & Infrastructure Security
• Cloud Application Security
• Operations
• Legal & Compliance

Cloud adoption changes how applications are built, deployed and operated — shifting responsibility between vendor and customer while introducing cloud-native platforms (containers, serverless, managed services) that require adapted security controls. Security must therefore address infrastructure hardening, identity and access management, data protection, secure development practices, and cloud-specific threat vectors.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level developers, security engineers, and IT managers who wish to gain practical, hands-on skills to secure cloud applications and their supporting infrastructure, while learning repeatable controls and assessment techniques that map to current industry frameworks and cloud provider guidance.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Explain the cloud shared-responsibility model and apply it to application security decisions.
• Harden cloud infrastructure (IaaS), secure platform services (PaaS) and evaluate SaaS configurations.
• Apply secure coding and OWASP-based mitigation patterns to cloud-hosted applications.
• Integrate security tooling into CI/CD pipelines (SAST/DAST/DAST/IAST/RASP) and adopt shift-left practices.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion tied to live demos.
• Hands-on labs using cloud consoles, containers, serverless functions, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Practical exercises: secure configuration, vulnerability scanning, attack simulation and remediation planning.

This course will equip you to implement appropriate security controls in the cloud, often using automation to "inspect what you expect." We will begin by diving headfirst into one of the most crucial aspects of cloud - Identity and Access Management (IAM). From there, we'll move on to securing the cloud through discussion and practical, hands-on exercises related to several key topics to defend various cloud workloads operating in the different CSP models of: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Functions as a Service (FaaS).

The course is providing practical knowledge on OpenStack and private cloud security. It starts from the introduction to the system, then the participants are getting practical knowledge on security in private clouds and securing OpenStack installation. During the course, each of the core OpenStack modules is presented, participants are building up virtual identity, image, network, compute and storage resources while discussing relevant security topics. Each participant is getting their own training environment with a complete OpenStack installation based on selected cloud architecture (eg. storage, networking). The training could be highly customized based on the needs of the client.

Customization options
The training can be contracted to 2 days, focusing on core aspects relevant for the customer. The training can be also extended regarding administrative, design, networking and/or troubleshooting topics concerning OpenStack deployments
