The growth of cloud technology has been phenomenal over the past few years, and it doesn’t show any signs of stopping. Companies of all sizes depend on cloud platforms, which is why the demand for IT professionals with cloud and cloud security certifications continues to increase.

This is excellent news for anyone working in IT or considering it as a career. This kind of demand helps with job security, something that’s pretty hard to come by these days. But don’t think that you can just walk in and grab a job in cloud computing without the right training; you need to have proven experience and expertise.

That’s where cloud certifications come in. When you receive a certification, it demonstrates to potential employers that you have the know-how they need. And it only gets better – in addition to making you a more attractive candidate and helping ensure job security, having cloud certifications can also lead to a bigger paycheck. Earning cloud certification is a definite step forward for any IT professional looking to advance their career. (And, of course, certifications are a great asset if you’re trying to strengthen your team or your company’s credibility.)

To help you take that next step forward, we’ve compiled a list of the top 50+ cloud and cloud security certifications. Read more “50+ Best Cloud and Cloud Security Certifications”

Securing any cloud infrastructure is a big job. You need to be constantly up to date on skills, tools, and technology, as well as the vulnerabilities and threats that crop up continuously. When it comes to security, becoming stagnant is not an option.
