Courses

The Certified Cloud Security Engineer (C|CSE) program is a comprehensive, hands-on,
vendor-neutral course focused on building a solid grasp of cloud security. Learners gain a
detailed, methodological approach to security controls, evidence collection, and analysis
across modern cloud environments.

Through a balanced mix of theory and labs, you’ll practice the tools, frameworks, and techniques
used to secure cloud workloads, manage identity and keys, and validate compliance—preparing
you to operate confidently in public, private, and hybrid clouds.
