      Who Should Read This Book

      This book is intended for CCSP candidates. To earn the CCSP, you are expected to have professional experience in the field of information security/IT security, particularly experience related to cloud computing. Candidates will also need to provide evidence of their professional experience to (ISC)2 in the event of passing the exam.

      The author has drawn on his own experience studying for and passing the exam as well as years of teaching the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and CCSP preparation courses for (ISC)2. He also solicited feedback from colleagues and former students who have taken the prep course and the exam. The book should reflect the breadth and depth of question content you are likely to see on the exam. Some of the questions in this book are easier than what you will see on the exam; some of them may be harder. Hopefully, the book will prepare you for what you might encounter when you take the test.

      The one thing I chose not to simulate in the book is the “interactive” questions; (ISC)2 has stated that the current tests may go beyond the regular multiple-choice format and could include “matching” questions (a list of multiple answers and multiple terms, where the candidate has to arrange them all in order), drag-and-drop questions (where the candidate uses the mouse to arrange items on the screen), and “hot spot” questions (where the candidate uses the mouse to point at specific areas of the screen to indicate an answer). There will probably not be many of these on the exam you take, but they are weighted more in your score than the multiple-choice questions, so pay attention and be extra careful answering those.

      Tools You Will Need

      In addition to this book, I recommend the CCSP (ISC)2 Certified Cloud Security Professional Official Study Guide, Second Edition, also from Wiley (2019). There is, as stated in this introduction, no magic formula for passing the exam. No single particular book or source with all the answers to the exam exists. If someone claims to be able to provide you with such a product, realize that they are mistaken or, worse, misleading you.

      However, you can augment your studying by reviewing a significant portion of the likely sources used by the professionals who created the test. The following is a just a sampling of the possible professional resources the cloud practitioner should be familiar with:
