Overview
The industry’s first authoritative Zero Trust Training. The CCZT enables you to understand and implement Zero Trust principles into business planning, enterprise architectures, and technology deployments. Building on the foundational principle of Zero Trust, that no part of a computing and networking system can be implicitly trusted, including the humans operating it, this course was developed to give you the knowledge and skills necessary to implement a Zero Trust strategy and reduce risk.
What's Included: 2 Days of Zero Trust Training, Led by an approved CSA Instructor
- Official Zero Trust Training Guide
- CCZT Exam Voucher with 2 Attempts
- Certificate of Completion
- 14 CPEs
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites required for the CCZT, we recommend that students have at least a basic understanding of networks and network security. It is not essential, but recommended to have some knowledge of cloud security topics e.g. QAPCCS, CCSKPLUS or CCSP.
Delegates will learn how to
Covering eight areas of Zero Trust knowledge, the Zero Trust Training (ZTT) outlines how to put measures in place to ensure that the systems and their components operate appropriately and are continuously verified. ZTT enables you to understand and implement Zero Trust principles into business planning, enterprise architectures, and technology deployments.
You will learn about the eight areas of zero trust knowledge;
- Zero Trust Strategy & Governance, Risk and Compliance
- Zero Trust Architecture
- Zero Trust Planning & Implementation
- Visibility, Analytics & Monitoring
