How I Passed the Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP)

[@csodarudi8642]

Man, I just came here to watch a quick summary about CCSP and ended up subscribing to your channel. As a non-English speaker I've found your accent perfect and the details you share show the signs of a real professional. Thanks for your time giving value back to the community.

[@CableSupply]

Wow, thanks!

[@mrcotter2531]

Thanks Jim ! I really enjoyed listening to your experience and methods. It’s good seeing senior experienced folks sharing their life lessons.

[@ankitdash5947]

Cleared CCSP in the first attempt. Read 2 books (CCSP for dummies and CCSP CBK, in order) and solved all the questions of the official app. Reading through the books and not worrying about remembering but just understanding it well is enough. Solving all the 2000 questions of the official app will make sure you will pass. Also saw some videos of questions-answers on youtube. I can't stress enough how important is it to SOLVE QUESTIONS!! Solve at least 3000 questions before you sit for an exam. I guarantee you will pass.

[@CableSupply]

Fantastic!!! Good Job!!

[@ragunayaka1]

Hi ankitdash need your guidance

[@SFCStevens]

I'm studying now for the CCSP. Thanks for this video. Gives me a great way to start studying again!

[@CableSupply]

You can do it!

[@Cryptokat]

I stumbled on this video (not sure what the right term is, anyway...) - really enjoyed it. Thank you for hitting home the point (really well!) on the author's work, and value. When I pick up yet another book in the next hour or two, I'll tackle it with even more appreciation - thanks to you. Oh, and for the record, I'm what you called a seasoned guy, with a couple of decades plus, a mathematican (currently tackling a PhD), was a software engineer & architect before moving to cyber; and yep, I got the full set from ISACA, and working on getting the full nine from ISC2 (the CCSP if successful will be number 6). I guess I just wanted to underscore that even after all these years of work and study, I still find "romanticism" in learning, the sacrifice in learning and that's why I want to thank you for the excellent video.

[@StudyTwenty4Seven]

love this, i also learn by writing on notecards . I'm studying for my ccsp while also studying the fundamentals for the 3 major CSPs

[@CableSupply]

That's great!

[@boxedowl]

Transitioning active duty and veterans or military spouses who wish to follow in this gentleman's footsteps but don't know where to even begin with IT or Cyber Security should check out Onward to Opportunity (O2O) by the IVMF. They offer an ISC² pathway that will pay for your first test attempt.

[@godforgood]

OMG! Wonderful video. So enlightening about the test and its benefits

[@CableSupply]

Glad it was helpful!

[@FranciscoJavierJerez]

Thank you Jim for this video, I learned a lot.

[@CableSupply]

Very welcome, Thankyou for subscribing.

[@DanielWallace-j9j]

Thank you for sharing. FYI- you can no longer go back to answer questions on the ISC2 exams. Only forward now. :(

[@CableSupply]

Good to know!

[@parthasarathidash]

Great one. Experience matters

[@CableSupply]

Yes it does!

[@rameshd3951]

thanks Jim, Its great Video.

[@jayminmamtora7546]

Thank you Jim for these helpful tips, Really like to hear you.

[@CableSupply]

Glad you like them!

[@jack6539]

great video. I found the official cissp study guide excellent for the cissp. I am going through accreditation now. I passed 1st time for that and i am now starting the ccsp.after that i have lined up the csslp.

[@CableSupply]

Excellent!

[@NorthernCold]

Great Video!

[@CableSupply]

Thanks!

[@CyberDuece]

Great video, thank you. I will be following by your tips and suggestions.

[@CableSupply]

You are so welcome!

[@mariembuenaventura1278]

I just want to hear Mr. Gibson talk. I wish I'm this sharp when I'm this age...

[@CableSupply]

How old do you think I am?

[@mariembuenaventura1278]

Maybe 45-55?

[@CableSupply]

Thank you but I am 66 years old. I have been in IT and Cyber Security for over 41 years. Back then they called Cyber security "computer and communications security" or "Electronic Warfare (EW)". My first job was managing 12 Marines and a UNIVAC DCT9000 main frame.

[@CableSupply]

When you get older you become a consultant and teacher. I do Cyber security, IT and management consulting and teaching now.

[@mariembuenaventura1278]

@@CableSupply Thank you sir. Maybe you can create content for reverse engineering of your career. We would love to hear your perspective.

[@ashwindevakumar6336]

Hi Jim , Great realistic video in my opinion . Sometimes i like learning through listening as well . Would you be able to suggest some videos/audios that helped you in your ccsp journey (of course i understand they may not be official study material)

[@pepeshopping]

If you do know your stuff inside and out, from the silicon, networking, to the compilers and final apps, and follow best practices, it is not hard.

[@خليلآلبوعوض]

You don't need to know that for the exam at all, it's mostly a management cert with some technical stuff. Just passed a week ago, barely any technical stuff. Having said that, if you have a lot of work experience in IT/security it's not super hard

[@MiraclesMe]

Thank you so much, its really valuable.

[@CableSupply]

You're very welcome!

[@novadhd]

Hey Jim thanks for that. I just passed CISSP last month and considering doing CCSP now. Good to see some older guys talking about this for a change! One question though should I take it even if I dont want to specialize in Cloud and be more of Cyber consultant/manager?

[@CableSupply]

You are halfway there with CISSP. The CCSP will be easier. "OLDER GUY"??? Rather say more experienced !🙂

[@AgarMagar]

You cant go back on CISSP

[@CableSupply]

It is definitely not a weekend course.

[@TheSilverGate]

Very valuable feedback, thank you for sharing 👍

[@CableSupply]

Glad it was helpful!

[@boxedowl]

Great video. Great advice.

[@CableSupply]

Thanks for watching!

[@keratishvili]

Great videos Jim, would you make any suggestion for devops career path and certifications?

[@AK-fg5oi]

I just completed my cissp certification yesterday and i intend to do ccsp...are they related conceptually and is it the right time to prepare foe the exam ? Please shed some light on similarities between these two certs

[@cyberprofessional2239]

A K...I just passed the CISSP 2 days ago and I think my sights are also set on the CCSP as well....with the same questions.

[@pingyang8963]

Hi Jim, thanks for the great video! How long did it take you for preparing the test?

[@CableSupply]

off and on about one year.

[@haha-cm6pg]

You can go back and review answers anymore for CISSP.

[@williamshoulders7325]

Can or can’t

[@sugarshamal]

Thank you very helpful

[@CableSupply]

You're welcome!

[@thedvxs6915]

CISSP is currently 3 hours for the English exam.

[@CableSupply]

I don't know how long it is now. When I took the CISSP exam, it was 6 hours long. The CCSP was 3 hours long. Checkout the website at WWW.ISC2.org

[@CableSupply]

Always check the website WWW.ISC2.org for the most updated information.

[@x86DualBooter]

Great video thank you

[@CableSupply]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Rosine78]

Hi. Great Video. Should I go with the 1st Edition or the 2nd book? What are the difference between both books? Thank you!

[@CableSupply]

Always go with the latest edition.

[@mrrdw77]

The CISSP is a CAT exam now so you can't go back to previous questions.

[@CableSupply]

The CISSP is Not an easy exam! When I took the exam decade ago, it was six hours long no break. I did go through all my answers, though at the time, and I was able to correct some misunderstandings that I had. It is a good CERT to have, but leans more towards the management of cyber security. The CISSP is definitely a management certification. the CISSP is good to be connected with network experience, such as Cisco, Certs, and general networking background. Thank you for watching the video I appreciate it.

[@warronfrench8163]

Why is a cliq a requirement for actually attaining the certification? Why not just the knowledge? A GOV clearance should be required along with these certs in order to do work on GOV systems, not also a membership to some group of people that might give you the nod.

[@CableSupply]

The Government does require certs and clearances for some jobs.

[@arijitbanerjee8566]

I learn by writing too :) Have a question, the 3 years of experience have to be in security in cloud OR overall cloud technical experience counts? Wonderful video btw !

[@CableSupply]

The requirements change from time to time. Check out the web site at WWW.ISC2.org and call the friendly people at ISC they are helpful.

[@sonnyyombo2230]

The student guide... Where did you get the copy from? By the way good overview... 👍

Check out their web site and give them a call.

[@sonnyyombo2230]

@@CableSupply thank you.... I didn't know you can get a copy from them. I will enquire

[@MSTRCNTRLPRGM]

Jim, where did you get a paper copy of that CCSP course book in the thumbnail?

[@CableSupply]

I got my copy for attending a class offered by (ISC)2. Call them and ask if you can buy one. They are friendly and helpful people. ISC2.ORG

[@NileshKumar-rq8tj]

Hi Jim, thanks for the review! Which practice book should you think is closer to the exam patterns and difficulty of questions? Questions are straightforward or twitsed?

[@CableSupply]

No games just straightforward.

[@timjoseph887]

Twisted I bought five books took the isc self paced and found the questions very confusingly written and the answer choice equally confusing. I failed. If you don't do well in one domain you fail

[@yassinermili2280]

Thanks for the video! What's the difference between the first edition and second edition of Certifed Cloud Security Professional, Official Study Guide By Ben Malisow ?

[@CableSupply]

Always read the latest edition.

[@danishmehmood6110]

jim what are those book series in the background?

[@CableSupply]

Cisco, Network+, Security+ and the Bible.

YES you can! Checkout www.ISC.org

I use the books

[@hughpm]

Hi Jim, do you think is feasible to take the CCSP exam without Security Background? My background is 11 years in IT (Networking, Linux and IT Support in general) i was also thinking that maybe CCSK is more for me but not sure, i have a friend who suggest me to take SSCP first and then CCSP, Thanks in advance

[@CableSupply]

I can't tell you what is best for you but the CISSP is the big one. Checkout ICS's web site ISC2.org.

[@thedvxs6915]

Yes, it is possible

[@boricuapro167]

I am totally new to cloud cyber security. I want to learn and become certified. Can you circle back in a reply to this comment and tell me again about the 5 year requirement? I don’t have that experience so I would still be able get the Associate if I pass the test? Thanks for your time and video. Super good information. My mind is racing

[@thedvxs6915]

For CISSP you need to find someone (CISSP certified) to endorse you.
