Today (1 July 2021), I cleared the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification. Here, I will present an outline guide to the key learning outcomes one should be familiar with before heading to the exam.

The exam is 2 hours in length with 50 multiple choice questions, and is recommended for those with 3+ years of industry experience including 1+ years designing and managing solutions using GCP. Note that there are no case studies included in this exam. My recommended study path is: go through the exam guide to get a feel of the topics covered, refer to the topics listed this guide, deep dive into individual topics (additional links are provided below), and then get some hands-on training on GCP via the official learning paths or Qwiklabs. Finally go through a practice exam to available to assess your readiness for the exam.
