Cloud and Mobile Security

Hi,

With the introduction of new CBK cloud and mobile security was added to CISSP exam concepts.

I have been reading Sybex 7th edition and I noticed that especially cloud as a subject is not covered more than 2-3 paragraphs.

It briefly describes SaaS, Iaas, PaaS concepts and touches base with community, private and public cloud models.

Do you reckon I should be doing some self study from wikipedia and other sources related to cloud?

Mobile security is also not covered deeply but since I worked with several projects related to mobile solutions, I kinda feel confident

Thanks

You should know the basics and be familiar with the cloud services and deployment models, their characteristics and features on a high level. Cloud is covered in more detail in the CCSP (Certified Cloud Security Professional) exam.

I would suggest in learning a little more about cloud and mobile security, types of authentication and services.
