When it comes to cloud security, it’s the Chief Information Security Officer’s (CISO) responsibility to understand the risks of a cloud architecture and develop a strategy for protecting against existing and emerging threats. And Luis Gonsalves, Head of Security for Banco de Portugal, Portugal’s central bank, arguably has a bigger picture view than most. Not only is he a CISO, but he founded the Portugal Chapter of the Cloud Security Alliance. Gonsalves is also a professor at the Instituto Universitario de Lisboa, and the Portuguese Banking Training Institute and serves as a consultant for other companies.

By pursuing Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) certification, cybersecurity experts within the organizations can gain a holistic understanding of cloud architecture, infrastructure, deployment models, emerging

By Tony Vizza, CISSP, CCSP, Director for Cyber Security Advocacy - APAC at (ISC)² “Tony, why did you get into cyber security?,” I am often asked. Truth be told, I had an interest in IT from a very young age. In second grade, my classroom had an early model Apple which the teacher did not know how to use and which I taught her. In high school, I took computer studies as a subject. Following this, I enrolled and completed an undergraduate degree in computer science. My first job after graduation was as a programmer and network administrator within a large multinational travel agency. Later on, I worked in IT infrastructure design and architecture and even did a stint in
