The Anderson University Cybersecurity program is celebrating a new milestone this semester: a record number of students passed the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Certified Cloud Practitioner (CCP) exam.
Twenty-four students—89 percent of the class—earned the CCP credential, the highest number since the inception of the Anderson Cybersecurity program.
The AWS CCP certification demonstrates that students have a strong foundational understanding of AWS cloud concepts, core services, and essential terminology. As AWS remains the world’s largest cloud computing provider, this credential affirms that Anderson students are developing the data security, network security, and access-control skills needed to work confidently in modern cloud environments.
Earning the CCP is also an important early step for students pursuing careers in cloud computing and cybersecurity.
Dr Ken Knapp, the Director of the Anderson Cybersecurity Center elaborates, “Employers consistently tell us they value this entry-level credential. It’s an advantage that can make a big impact when applying for internships and jobs. We are proud of our students’ hard work and excited to see where their cloud and cybersecurity skills take them next.”
