Zero Trust Architecture/SDP training is a one-stop-shop training that provides a comprehensive introduction to ZTT. It makes any other foundational training on ZTT totally unnecessary. The training provides a high-level holistic view of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTT) where it covers ZT foundations, objectives, benefits, planning considerations, implementation options, various use cases, and applications of ZT.
Sr. Information Security Compliance Advisor, Akamai Technologies
As someone who maintains double-digit CPA licenses, CISSP, CIPP, and ISO 27001 lead auditor as well as one of the first CCSKs, there is no other certification that takes an applied approach of auditing to very specific and technical subject matter.

The CCSK reflects both the operational knowledge of the CCM (Cloud Controls Matrix) as well as the strategic goals for the CSA. The CCM itself is a superset of many existing security control standards, which makes the CCSK all the more relevant to today's security environment.

I'm extremely grateful to the Cloud Security Alliance for taking up the Zero Trust banner with the delivery of the CCZT, the world's first authentic, non-vendor-specific training and certificate that delivers the knowledge needed to understand the core concepts of Zero Trust. The sheer volume of passionate volunteers CSA has been able to bring together to collaborate on the development of Zero Trust tools and best practices is incredibly exciting.

With Zero Trust becoming a key competence for IT professionals, CCZT will become an essential prerequisite enabling a proper understanding of what Zero Trust is and how to implement it.
CEO, Global Identity Foundation & Board Member CSA UK Chapter
Zero Trust is a game changer and is going to be a focus of interest for security professionals. To keep up with the evolving interests, I highly recommend completing the Zero Trust Training online course before taking the CCZT. The training courses give the knowledge needed to understand the core concepts of Zero Trust and pass a challenging exam. CCZT is not an easy exam. I recommend reading all of the provided study materials, and then reading them again.
