Course Overview
When applications move to Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services, the familiar network perimeter disappears and is replaced by virtual networks, elastic instances, and resources that change by the hour, which is why the Check Point Certified Cloud Specialist (CCCS) course focuses on protecting that new environment with Check Point CloudGuard Network Security. This Check Point CCCS training follows the R81.20 syllabus and starts by explaining CloudGuard and the network security architectures that fit common cloud designs. Learners then apply this to both major platforms, deploying a Security Management Server in Azure and AWS and configuring Security Gateways that scale automatically with Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets and AWS EC2 Auto Scaling. High-availability clustering keeps protection running if an instance fails, while Adaptive Security Policy ensures rules stay accurate as workloads are added, moved, or removed. The course also explains how automation reduces manual effort and makes deployments repeatable, and it ends with a troubleshooting module that prepares administrators to diagnose and fix real problems with gateways, management, and traffic. The result is practical, platform-specific cloud firewall expertise, combined with structured preparation for the CCCS certification exam.
