Five Days • Instructor-led
This course provides the knowledge needed to implement security solutions within an enterprise policy framework, using a vendor-neutral format. This includes security and risk management programs, organizational policies and training, asset security, enterprise security architecture and engineering, network and communication security, identity and access management, security assessments and testing, operational security and secure software development.
Pre-requisites
Candidates must have a minimum of five (5) years of cumulative paid full-time professional security work experience in two or more of the 8 domains of the CISSP CBK.
Candidates may receive a one year experience waiver with a four-year college degree, or regional equivalent OR additional credential from the approved list, thus requiring four (4) years of direct full-time professional security work experience in two or more of the ten domains of the CISSP CBK.
Candidates who have not completed the 5 years of experience to take the CISSP, can take an Associate CISSP exam. This will give them a credential showing their knowledge until they are able to meet the experience requirements for the CISSP.
