Weekly thread for any and all career, learning and general guidance questions. Thinking of taking a training or going for a cert? Wondering how to level up your career? Wondering what NOT to do? Got other questions? This is the time and place to ask!
Outside of the SANS courses, are there any other reputable trainings that focus on Cloud Security Architecture?
AWS has their own first-party certs if you want something vendor-specific (I’m sure Google and Msft have similar). ISC^2 has something too https://www.isc2.org/certifications/ccsp
I'm studying for CCSP right now. It's fairly general and tries to be vendor neutral but Architecture is one of the knowledge domains on the exam. Might be worth it if you meet the work requirements or experience waiver requirements.
A lot of people also seem to conflate it with the CISSP when it comes up in conversation I've noticed.
Google has one too, can't say whether it's good or not, sorry.
