Why Pursue a CISSP® Certification?

Many companies are beginning to regard a CISSP®  certification as a requirement for their technical, mid-management, and senior IT management positions. Achieving the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP®)—the world’s global security certification standard--proves high proficiency in foundation security disciplines. Offered through (ISC)², one of the world’s leading international security certification organization, the exam’s stringent criteria sets the benchmark for excellence in security practice, requiring candidates to prove deep understanding of security concepts, principles, and methodologies.

The CISSP® certification exam is rigorous, covering ten security domains essential for the protection of information systems, corporations and national infrastructures. Understanding that security is an enterprise wide problem, these domains provide the candidate with a broad understanding of the technical, managerial and human factors that must coordinate effectively to keep information and systems secure. These domains include:

The Ten Domains of the CBK

1. Security Management Practices
2. Access Control Systems and Methodology
3. Cryptography
4. Physical Security
5. Enterprise Security Architecture
6. Law, Investigation, and Ethics
7. Telecommunications and Network Security
8. Business Continuity Planning
9. Applications and Systems Development
10. Operations Security

Using this course, students prepare for the exam, while at the same time obtaining essential security knowledge that can be immediately used to improve organizational security. This knowledge enhances services and products, secures business functions and infrastructures, provides better implementation processes, and can be used to restructure critical programs and procedures to help keep companies up-to-date on today’s business and security strategies, technologies, and best practices.
