Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
Course Description:
The Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) Certification is one of the most prestigious, globally-recognized certificates for Information Security professionals. This certification was established by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, or (ISC)². The CISSP training course offered at AGIT is a five (5) day course, which covers all the essential elements of Information Security, including Security Management and Practices, Business Continuity Planning, Physical Security Planning, and Law Investigation and Ethics. Possessing the CISSP Certificate demonstrates that one fully comprehends the 10 Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) domains. Therefore, thorough training is provided for all the domains:
- Access Control – is an accumulation of methods that work together to create a security architecture to protect the assets of the information system. It allows managers to clearly specify what users can do, the resources that they can access, and the operations that they can perform on a system.
- Information Security and Risk Management – identifies an organization’s information assets. It also studies the development, documentation, and implementation of policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines. Management tools such as data classification, risk assessment, and risk analysis are utilized to identify threats, classify assets, and rate their vulnerabilities.
- Cryptography – deals with the principles or methods of disguising information. This ensures the integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity of information.
- Physical (Environmental) Security – provides protection techniques for the entire facility, from the outside perimeter to the inside office space including all of the information system resources.
- Security Architecture and Design – contains concepts related to structures, principles, and standards in designing, monitoring and securing operating systems. Furthermore, it addresses the controls used to enforce confidentiality, integrity, and availability on equipment, networks, and applications.
- Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning – addresses the preservation and recovery of business operations in the event of outages.
- Telecommunications and Networking Security – looks into the security of voice and data communication through various network structures. The focus is to understand transmission methods, transport formats, and security measures.
- Application Development Security – addresses the important security concepts that apply to application software development. Applications refer to agents, applets, software, databases, data warehouses, and knowledge-based systems.
- Operations Security – identifies important security events that can be audited, monitored, and executed to eliminate exploitation of critical information.
- Legal, Regulations, Compliance and Investigations – addresses computer crime laws and regulations and the measures and technologies used to investigate computer crime incidents.
Through this course, you will review the content and concepts of the 10 CBK domains through practical discussions, lectures, and activities. You will receive the complete set of printed lecture slide notes, 1500 practice questions, and a newly-revised study guide written by our primary CISSP instructor James Michael Stewart. The course will fully prepare you to pass the CISSP Certification exam.
This course meets the training requirements for DOD 8570.1.
