Completers of the Certified Information Systems Security Professional program will be firmly grounded in the knowledge requirements of today’s security professional. This program will address the essential elements of the eight domains that comprise a Common Body of Knowledge (CBK)® for information systems security professionals. The program offers a job-related approach to the security process, while providing a framework to prepare for CISSP certification.

CISSP is the premier certification for today’s information systems security professional. It remains the premier certification because the sponsoring organization, the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, Inc. (ISC)2 ®, regularly updates the test by using subject matter experts (SMEs) to make sure the material and the questions are relevant in today’s security environment. By defining eight security domains that comprise a CBK, industry standards for the information systems security professional have been established. The skills and knowledge participants gain in this program will help them master the eight CISSP domains and ensure their credibility and success within the information systems security field.

This course is intended for experienced IT security-related practitioners, auditors, consultants, investigators, or instructors, including network or security analysts and engineers, network administrators, information security specialists, and risk management professionals, who are pursuing CISSP training and certification to acquire the credibility and mobility to advance within their current computer security careers or to migrate to a related career. Through the study of all eight CISSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) domains, students will validate their knowledge by meeting the necessary preparation requirements to qualify to sit for the CISSP certification exam.

Additional CISSP certification requirements include a minimum of five years of direct professional work experience in two or more fields related to the eight CBK security domains, or a college degree and four years of experience. It is highly recommended that students have certifications in Network+ or Security+, or possess equivalent professional experience upon entering CISSP training. It will be beneficial if students have one or more of the following security-related or technology-related certifications or equivalent industry experience: CyberSec First Responder (CFR) MCSE, CCNP, RHCE, LCE, SSCP®, GIAC, CISA™, or CISM®.
