    Dear All,

    Hope you are doing well.

    I pray for good health. Stay Safe !!

    Recently I did CCSK certification. At the moment, I am preparing for the AZ-500 Security exam and after then I am planning to prepare for CCSP.

    I would like to share my study material and tips for the CCSK exam. I hope it will help the aspirants who are preparing for this exam.

    How to pass CCSKv4 (Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge) in your first attempt

    Exam details as below : 

    Exam Duration: 90 minutes
    Questions: 60 (80% required to pass)  
    87% of questions covered from CCSK V4.pdf
    7% of questions covered from CSA's CCM 3.0.1 - (3-4 questions)
