As more organizations move their operations to the cloud for the benefits of improved efficiency, better scalability and faster deployment, a majority (96%) of cybersecurity professionals say they are concerned about public cloud security, according to the 2021 Cloud Security Report by Cybersecurity Insiders.

For cybersecurity professionals, the incentives to pursue cloud certification are many — but so are the number of cloud cert options out there. To help narrow the pool, let’s look closely at two globally recognized, vendor-neutral choices: (ISC)² Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) vs. CompTIA Cloud+.

Cloud+ takes more of a general view of the cloud that includes security as one of five domains covered.
CCSP validates your ability to design, manage and secure data, applications, and infrastructure in the cloud, while also following the best practices established by (ISC)². Cloud+ certification validates that you have the skills necessary to maintain and optimize cloud infrastructure services.
