CCIS — CrowdStrike Certified Identity Specialist
CrowdStrike's Falcon Identity Protection certification. Validates the ability to manage identity-based risk in the Falcon domain — assessing user and entity risks, investigating identity-based detections, managing MFA and identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) connectors, implementing and tuning identity-based policies, and maintaining overall identity security posture. 60-question closed-book exam, 90-minute limit, two attempts permitted, $250 via Pearson VUE. Requires at least 6 months of hands-on Falcon platform experience — this is not an entry-level or theoretical exam. Targeted at security analysts, PAM specialists, and IAM engineers operating in CrowdStrike environments. The CCIS covers Falcon Identity Protection's unique approach to behavioral identity analytics and East-West identity threat detection, which differs significantly from traditional PAM and IdP approaches.
