The eBook is well-structured and comprehensive, covering all the critical domains required for the CCSP exam. It includes core cloud concepts, cloud security architecture, data security, and governance, risk management, and legal challenges in the cloud.Each chapter is laid out in a logical progression, starting from foundational concepts and building up to more complex topics, which is ideal for both beginners and experienced professionals looking to deepen their understanding.StrengthsComprehensive Coverage: The book provides thorough coverage of all six domains of the CCSP exam, ensuring that readers are well-prepared for each area of the test.Practical Scenarios: The inclusion of real-world scenarios and examples helps readers understand how cloud security principles are applied in practice, which is valuable for practical learning and exam preparation.Exam Readiness Drills: Each chapter ends with review questions and drills, which help reinforce the material covered and assess the reader’s understanding. This is excellent for self-assessment and focused study.Accessible Language: The authors use clear and accessible language, making complex cloud security concepts easier to understand for a broad audience.Resourceful Online Materials: The book offers access to additional online resources, including practice exams, flashcards, and other study aids, enhancing the learning experience.Areas for ImprovementDepth in Certain Areas: While the book is comprehensive, some topics could benefit from a deeper exploration, particularly emerging technologies in cloud computing (like quantum computing and confidential computing). Expanding these sections could provide readers with more nuanced insights.Visual Aids and Diagrams: More diagrams and visual aids could enhance understanding, especially for visual learners. Detailed flowcharts, architecture diagrams, and data lifecycle visuals could help clarify complex topics.Hands-on Labs or Case Studies: Incorporating more hands-on labs or detailed case studies could provide practical experience and help readers better understand the application of theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios.Updates on Latest Trends: As cloud security is a rapidly evolving field, continuous updates on the latest trends, tools, and threats would be beneficial. This could include more recent examples of cloud security breaches and how they were handled.I hope this was helpful.

I got a chance to read this book and here is my review:1. The book is crisp and clean. It doesn't veer away from the core concepts necessary for the exam.2. The book is forward looking. For example, it covers practical use cases such as quantum computing and confidential computing.3. The book has practice exams and drills at the end of each chapter. This helps the reader to test their knowledge as soon as they complete a chapter.In my opinion, these three qualities are sufficient in a book that prepares the reader for the exam.

Packt's CCSP Certified Cloud Security Professional: Exam Guide by Omar Turner and Navya Lakshmana has everything one needs to prepare and master this ISC2 exam. Make no mistake, this is a difficult exam, but with the book's flashcards, mock exams, and exam tips, paired with the guidance within, you'll be sure to pass. Let's break down some of my favorite sections:Chapter 3 dives into the top threats for cloud infrastructure and data. Common threats such as data breaches, misconfigurations, insecure APIs, insider threats, and account hijacking are highlighted in the chapter. Addressing these threats requires robust access controls, encryption, continuous monitoring, and incident response mechanisms.In chapter 4, we get into the shared responsibility model and some key risks. For IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS models, the importance of understanding the shared responsibility model is critical for the exam and in real world practice. Mitigation strategies for the threats outline in chapter 3 include implementing strong access controls, encryption, secure development practices, and adherence to industry regulations are explored here as well.Next in chapter 6 we go over cloud data security concepts. I know first hand how important data security is in the real world. This chapter prepares you by exploring different storage types: object, file, and block storage and how they are analyzed for their unique security threats, including malware, denial-of-service attacks, and unauthorized access. Effective data management in the cloud is critical for compliance and security. This chapter goes over best practices for data retention, archival, and deletion, with a focus on protecting sensitive data throughout its lifecycle. Compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX are touched on.One of my favorite chapters was chapter 9 on Risk Management. The importance of structured risk management frameworks such as NIST RMF, ISO 31000, and the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix are emphasized here. Tools like CSPM, SIEM, and EDR are explored as options for monitoring and protecting cloud environments. The evaluation of cloud service providers through SLAs, third-party assessments, and compliance certifications is also touched on.No matter if you're preparing for the CCSP Certified Cloud Security Professional exam or just wanting to expand your knowledge of secure cloud development and hosting, this book is sure to delivery the results you are looking for.

The book is fantastic and if you are looking for a way to get a foundational base of knowledge to help prepare you in your CCSP journey then this is that book. Some books go too deep right from the start and overwhelm the reader, this book balances that out where they will introduce a topic and then go deeper later in the book at the right time. When I was studying for my CCSP cert it was critical to have context to gain a better understanding of the material, this book attacks that problem right from the start. This book is definitely one I would pick up if I had to study for my CCSP again.
