Introduction

      There is no magic formula for passing the Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) certification exam, just as there is no single source that will prepare you sufficiently to pass the actual test. You can, however, prepare yourself for the challenge. This book is all about preparation.

      We’ve included more than 1,000 questions related to the CCSP material in this book, which also includes access to the online databank (the same questions but in a point-and-click format). They were created in accordance with the (ISC)² CCSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK), the CCSP Training Guide, the Official CCSP Study Guide, Second Edition, and the CCSP Exam Outline, which is also referred to as the CCSP Exam Outline (www.isc2.org/-/media/ISC2/Certifications/Exam-Outlines/ CCSP-Exam-Outline.ashx), which lists all the elements of practice that the candidate is expected to know for the certification.

      The questions in this book are not necessarily indicative of what you’ll see on the actual CCSP exam. Instead, these questions are intended for study purposes, to help you review and understand the concepts that you may be tested on when you take the certification exam. Be aware that some of these questions may be easier, and some may be harder, than what you’ll be faced with if you try to become a CCSP.

      How This Book Is Organized

The questions have been arranged in the order of the CBK, with varying amounts in proportion to the (ISC)² published matrix describing how the exam is constructed, as shown in Table I.1.
