Course Description
Developed and maintained by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2, CISSP is a premium, vendor-neutral certification that recognizes mastery of an international standard for information security and understanding of a Common Body of Knowledge (CBK).
The CISSP course provides you with the knowledge and skills to pass the CISSP certification, after which you'll have the ability to manage, operate, develop and plan an effective network security infrastructure. This certification gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their level of competence with the various domains of the compendium of best practices for information security.
Entry Requirement
Candidates must have a minimum of 5 years cumulative paid full-time work experience in two or more of the 8 domains:
Security and Risk Management
Asset Security
Security Engineering
Communications and Network Security
Identity and Access Management
Security Assessment and Testing
Security Operations
Software Development Security
Candidates may receive a one-year experience waiver with a 4-year college degree, or regional equivalent or additional credential from the (ISC)² approved list, thus requiring four years of direct full-time professional security work experience in 2 or more of the 8 domains of the CISSP CBK.
Don't have the experience? Become an Associate of (ISC)² by successfully passing the CISSP exam. You'll have 6 years to earn your experience to become a CISSP.
