As an industry professional studying to take the CCSP exam I appreciate the way this book is laid out. Rather than being organized by the 6 defined ISC2 domains the book is instead organized into 24 chapters that make first time learning and future reference easier. I found it very easy to jump around through the book to touch up on topics I needed more time with.The online resources are a fantastic addition to the package. I did the majority of my reading through the included online web version of the book which was fully linked and searchable. The online system made it easy to jump between the reading the book and taking the chapter review question assessments. In addition to the review questions there are also 2 full 150 question practice exams with full explanation on why the correction answer is the best answer. I have not yet noticed any incorrect answers in the tests, though I have not completed all the questions. There are also digital flashcards which seem like a nice touch to quickly quiz yourself on topics which I plan on getting more use of out later.Overall, I consider this a great reference guide to keep for future reference, rather than just a study guide to pass an exam. I'll look to update my review once I take the exam to provide feedback on how well prepared I feel it made me.

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.
