Why Choose This Course
PCCSE: Prisma Certified Cloud Security Engineer Training is an exam‑aligned course designed to help cloud and security professionals learn how to onboard, deploy and administer Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud across multi‑cloud and hybrid environments. You will explore core capabilities including cloud security posture management, workload and container protection, identity‑based access analysis, code and pipeline security, and data security posture. The training combines conceptual understanding with hands‑on practice so you can apply Prisma Cloud to real environments spanning AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Kubernetes.
Organisations in Australia are accelerating cloud adoption and containerised application delivery, which increases the need for cloud‑native security skills. This course focuses on the security controls and workflows used by modern teams: agentless and agent‑based workload protection, runtime defence, cloud network visibility, identity and entitlement analysis, and prevention‑first policy design. You will learn how to interpret cloud findings, automate remediation, and integrate alerts with existing SecOps and DevOps toolchains.
The course is suitable for professionals working in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra who need practical skills to secure workloads at scale. Whether you are refining an existing Prisma Cloud deployment or preparing for your first enterprise rollout, the curriculum is structured to map directly to the official PCCSE certification scope while providing scenario‑driven labs and review activities. The goal is to give you confidence to implement Prisma Cloud features that reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and support secure software delivery.
By the end, you will understand how to configure policies, assess posture, protect hosts, containers and serverless functions, secure infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines, and investigate incidents using Prisma Cloud’s query language and dashboards.
