Moses Frost, SANS SEC588: Cloud Penetration Testing course author, says "The GIAC Cloud Penetration Testing (GCPN) certification provides our industry with a first focused exam on both cloud technologies and penetration testing disciplines. This certification will require a mastery in assessing the security of systems, networks, web applications, web architecture, cloud technologies, and cloud design. Those that hold the GCPN have been able to cross these distinct discipline areas and simulate the ways that attackers are breaching modern enterprises."

GCPN is designed to validate skills taught in the SANS Institute course SEC588: Cloud Penetration Testing. The GCPN certification is now available to the public, and registration is open online.
