CCSP vs. Cloud Security Certificate

mencik · ‎11-10-2022

Today I received an email from ISC2 about a new certificate program. One of the certificates is for Cloud Security. ISC2 already has a certification called the CCSP, that is for Cloud Security. So, is ISC2 now competing with itself? Is there a logical explanation for this? If so, I haven't seen one yet.

I have heard several stories on this one...........it is confusing.

Maybe @AndreaMoore can ask for an explanation.

PS: I did not get the email ;(

Seems the Cloud Security Certificates (there are three of them) are seen as a pathway to the CCSP certification:

I must have got your copy of the email as I received it twice - along with an email for another ISC2 promotion:

Those used to be PDI courses that were removed, and they are now charging everyone to take, including members. You'll get a badge and cert when the course has been completed. It's not a new program per say but the charging member's part is new.
