Broader coverage

Options with broader coverage than Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Security Professional

Credentials that span a wider range of skills, usually trading depth in one area for breadth across several.

Vendor-neutral cloud security instead of one platform

Certified Cloud Security Professional teaches cloud security principles that apply across providers, which suits people who do not want their credential tied to Oracle's cloud.

Who it suits

Suits security professionals working across multiple clouds, or in organizations that have not committed to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, who want a portable cloud security credential.

Key differences

  • It is vendor-neutral and spans data, applications, platforms, and infrastructure, rather than Oracle Cloud Infrastructure security services.
  • The material is conceptual and design-led, so hands-on knowledge of one provider's console and services is not the focus.
  • ISC2 expects prior professional experience for the full credential, so it is aimed at a more seasoned audience than a platform exam alone.
