Sorry to hear that! That is just no fun. In teaching CCSP for ISC2 what I have found is that the information that you think you need for the exam, is just not quite on target. If you felt like there were a lot of things in the test that you just did not know, had not seen, did not study take a look at my book. I worked to make it easier for my bootcamp students to be able to get through the exam more successfully by ensuring that I was covering the ISC2 CBK. If it was easy for me to say just study X I would, but I did make it easier on you by collecting information and putting it in one place. https://www.amazon.com/CCSP-Cloud-Guardians-Certified-Professional/dp/B08XNBY9RL/ref=sr\_1\_2?crid=36ONH4YYOG3S1&dchild=1&keywords=gwen+bettwy&qid=1625072086&sprefix=gwen+bett%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-2
I am sorry to hear you had trouble. I have no control over ISC2 with refunds but I have seen people go through what you went through a few too many times. As a result I created my book as a gathering place of things you need to know before you go into the test. If there is anything I can help with just DM me. https://www.amazon.com/CCSP-Cloud-Guardians-Certified-Professional/dp/B08XNBY9RL/ref=sr\_1\_3?dchild=1&keywords=gwen+bettwy&qid=1624652317&sr=8-3
This class will prepare you to take the CCSP exam. I have been teaching this for ISC2 and Firebrand for years now with great success. I have had many 100% pass classes.
I have additional info on my site about the class. www.TacSecInc.com
I would also love to chat about the course with you... or help you determine the next steps for you in your certification path. My course or not.
I ended up spending a lot of time understanding the specific ISO standards that applied to the topic, mainly high level reconition, but specifically:
ISO 15408 - Common Criteria
ISO 17788 - (Maps to NIST 800-145) Criteria for cloud computing and the 6 basic characteristics
Broad network access
Measured service
Multitenancy
On-Demand self service
Rapid elasticity and scalability
Resource pooling
ISO 17789 Cloud computing architecture CCRA
ISO 27001 Guidelines on Information Security Management Common for people getting an ISMS to get certified for this standard and ISO 27002
ISO 27002 Issues pertaining to building information security controls. Common for people getting an ISMS to get certified for this standard and ISO27001
ISO 27018 Guidelines for protecting PII in the public cloud
ISO 27034 Application Security Controls (ASC)
ISO 27050 Standard for issues with eDiscovery
ISO 28000 Standard for issues related to security of supply chain
ISO 31000 Provides guidelines on risk management.
Also knowing the data lifecycle the software development lifecycle and for me the difference between Risk Response (Accept, Avoid, Mitigate, Transfer) and Risk Management (Minimal, Low, Moderate, High, Critical)
If you haven't got onto it, I recommend https://obsidian.md for the note taking, I was able to link a whole bunch of concepts between each other which was good when noting the concepts I didn't know.
Block Storage – This is perfect for something like a database. Data will be stored in volumes and blocks. The file or the data is split into equal sized pieces (blocks). A block is able to be located but does not have associated metadata with it.
Object Storage – Storage of a piece of data at a time. Each object could be a file, video, picture, etc. Object storage is not a hierarchical storage like file storage is. Each object is stored with metadata and a unique identifier that allows it to be located.
Bucket Storage is a type of Object storage.
Blob - A bucket of sorts
Image storage, an image is a type of Object. All VMs are stored as an
image, which is a type of file.Ephemeral storage is temporary. It exists as long as the VM is running.

Okay, so, I'm not trying to spam the board...but I wrote an ebook especially for that. It addresses the CISSP, CCSP, CISM, and Security+ (the certs I had at the time I wrote it...I may go back and add SSCP content in the next edition, because I got that cert later).
I designed it to be cheap, small, and high-level: it doesn't go into much detail about any of the specific topics, but only covers the things I think you need to pass those tests (so much of the material on those exams overlaps; I've seen it, when taking the tests myself).
The ebook is only ten bucks (or the equivalent in your local currency), and is only available if you have access to Amazon and the Amazon reader. The paperback is, unfortunately, around $30, because of the expense of printing, etc. I make the same amount on each version.
If you fail the exam after using my book, I will refund you half the price (I can't refund the whole amount, because after Amazon's cut, I would take a loss, instead of just giving your money back...I still take a loss on the paperback version).
Take a look, if you're interested. Feel free to hit me up with questions, too.
Thanks for your input. I have subscribed for 1month. I just realized that the hard copy of Certified Cloud Security Professional Official Practice Test (by Ben Malison) has an online Wiley exam prep. So now I have these soft copy Exam prep. 1. CCSP (ISC²) Office App by Konnect LLC https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.learnzapp.ccsp 2. IT and Cybersecurity Pocket Prep by PocketPrep inc. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pocketprep.android.itcybersecurity 3. The Wiley Exam Prep
Hard Copies of 1. Cloud Security Professional Official Practice Test (by Ben Malison) has an online Wiley exam prep. 2. CCSP Certified Cloud Security Professional Practice Exam (by Daniel Carter)
Now l have no reason to not pass this cert. Wish me luck.

I took/passed CCSP a couple days ago, I went almost exclusively off of the wiley/sybex questions you get to unlock when you buy:
CCSP (ISC)2 Official Study Guide, 2e
CCSP Official (ISC)2 Practice Tests 2nd Ed Test Bank
When you unlock the study guide book they give you a link to a searchable glossary, it's 21 pages but I read through it a few times and it helped a lot. Then I did nothing but practice test questions for a few hours a day for about 3 weeks. I'd focus on questions I got wrong, researching those, to help me fill in the gap of knowledge i already had from CISSP to where I needed to be for CCSP.
I already has the IT & Security pocket prep app from CISSP: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pocketprep.android.itcybersecurity&hl=en_US&gl=US
I did CCSP questions whenever I had free time away from home (in line at the grocery store etc.)
I bought Boson for CCSP but it really pissed me off, and I made a post raging about it. Some other people agree they dropped the ball for CCSP and it seemed frustratingly difficult.
At the time I passed CCSP I was scoring about 85% in the wiley study guide questions, about 75% in the wiley practice test questions (they are a little harder), and about 65% on boson.
If you re-read my original post, you'll see what I am using. It comes out to somewhere over 3000 questions. IMO hand-written flashcards are a must. Hand writing helps the info to stick. I also make up mnemonic devices (memory tricks) and flip-book images to really help lock it in. I do a minimum 300 questions a day, reviewing 2 books a week, 8-12 hours of videos on weekends, & familiarizing with the ISOs & NIST. Here is another CCSP\infosec app you may find useful, (700 questions)
<strong>IT & Security app</strong>
You should also download & review Prashant Mohan's book.
<strong>8000 ft. of CCSP</strong>
FYI - Nobody has the keys to the kingdom. There is no silver bullet. You have to make a solid plan and work your plan.
You also should peruse reddit & other sources and take note of what those who were successful (on first try) are using and find what prep materials they have in common.

Hi, thanks for sharing what worked for you ... was this the CYBRARY set of videos you watched? https://www.cybrary.it/course/isc2-certified-cloud-security-professional-ccsp/ were they helpful on the test? I’m watching them and they seem pretty high level. Thanks!
I wrote my book for just what you are asking. It was created out of necessity teaching CCSP with an exam at the end of the week. Finding and nailing down content needed was crucial. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08XNBY9RL/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o06\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here’s the link to the books I used and the books have a link inside to the web test bank.
Add in my book to guide you through the all of the topics and books and classes and you are set!. Cloud Guardians
I have a book, newly on the market, that I have been creating over the last few years while teaching CCSP with a high level of success. It give you a straight forward look at the concepts that you really need to know. If you are unfamiliar with them then you need to research using books like Ben Malisow's. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08WPFF25F/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1
Taking the CCSP after the CISSP reduces your studying to cloud specific content. Not everything from CISSP is needed in CCSP but if have CISSP first CCSP is much easier. Given that you work more specifically with cloud CCSK could be a nice starting point. I highly recommend my book, which I created over the last couple of years teaching CCSP for ISC2 out of a need to help students get a good grasp on all of the topics you should know before you take the test.
I have been teaching CCSP for ISC2 for many years now (CISSP for 17 years for ISC2). I have added a bulleted list with short descriptions to the many books and videos. I highly recommend my book as a guide along the way. It will help you quickly see the topics you really need to know for the exam! Without it there seems to be a lack of guidance on what to study. I even say that with regards to ISC2 exam outline. It is not detailed enough (they never have been).
It was out of desperation for my students that I created this. I have tested it for a couple of years now in the classroom and continuously refined it along the way!
This is a management exam as is CISSP. It is not terribly technical. I have outlined what you need to know in here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08WPFF25F/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 If you are comfortable with the technical topics at a level you could explain it to your boss, then you are in pretty good shape here.
Be very very careful with Gordon's book. It is not reliable. Check out my outlined study guide to ensure you have covered all the topics. If you need more info go back to Malisow's book or NIST SP 800-146 or the Cloud Security Alliance's SecaaS topic specific documents. https://www.amazon.com/CCSP-Cloud-Guardians-Certified-Professional-ebook/dp/B08WPFF25F/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3B6TY4MP63072&dchild=1&keywords=gwen+bettwy&qid=1615293232&sprefix=gwen+be%2Caps%2C416&sr=8-1
So, uh...this one is just a copy of the content that comes from the Official app (under license to Wiley/Sybex, through Konnect). If you want the Official app, it's also in the Play Store (and is guaranteed not to include malware): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.learnzapp.wileyccsp
I don't know what the price difference there is between the genuine app and the pirated version.
Prashant Mohan's Cirrus (and it's free!): https://www.infosectrain.com/blog/ebook-cirrus-8000-ft-of-ccsp-course/
I also dig my How To book, but it's twelve bucks: https://www.amazon.com/Pass-Your-INFOSEC-Certification-Test-ebook/dp/B01N9VOL9O
Oh, and I recently published some more practice questions, for the CCSK-- they might help for CCSP studies, too: https://www.amazon.com/CCSK-Practice-Tests-Ben-Malisow/dp/B08RR9KTZZ/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
I believe on the android side it's this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magycbytes.ccsp , which I've been using the free bank of questions. Is it worth paying for?
I'm now using the official (ISC)2 practice questions book since finishing their study guide.
Ben....DOH - glad you chimed in! All of these 'C' and 'SP's in cert titles, and I had CISSP on my mind. You're absolutely correct. u/xenomorph-85 - ignore what I wrote, as it does NOT apply to CCSP. I do know that an updated edition of the CBK for CCSP will be released, supposedly in May, 2021 (https://www.amazon.com/Official-ISC-Guide-CCSP-CBK/dp/1119207495) - and the CISSP exam will be updated as Ben noted in his reply. Are you confused yet? :) Sorry again if added to it in any way.
Not sure how much it's worth doing a study group for that.
this is how I did my studying and finishing soon.
- Week 1 and 2:
> Read cover-to-cover Sybex CCSP book.
> Re-read and took notes on sections I knew less (did 1 chapter every other day).
- Week 3:
> Do questions from Sybex' site and book + refined my study.
> Finished with 1 full exam.
- Week 4:
> Did power questions and study during transit to work with some light studying here and there.
> Primarily using this app.
> Will do 2nd full exam mid-week.
Exam is next Friday morning.
