Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) is an independent information security certification governed by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)².
The CISSP curriculum covers subject matter in a variety of Information Security topics. The CISSP examination is based on what (ISC)² terms the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) which is a collection of topics relevant to information security professionals around the world. The CISSP CBK establishes a common framework of information security terms and principles that allow information security professionals worldwide to discuss, debate and resolve matters pertaining to the profession with a common understanding.
About this workshop
People are the key to a secure organization. Technological solutions alone cannot protect an organization's critical information assets. Employers demand qualified information security staff to give their organizations a leading edge by providing the highest standard of security for their customers, employees, stakeholders and organizational information assets.
The CISSP certification identifies individuals as security experts who have the technical ability, understanding and experience to implement effective security practices.
Information Security professionals with the CISSP certification are those who develop policies, standards, and procedures as well as manage the implementation across the enterprise.
A major point that sets the CISSP apart from other security certifications is the breadth of knowledge and the experience necessary to pass the exam.
A CISSP candidate cannot specialize in just one domain; they must know and understand the full spectrum of the (ISC)² CBK to become certified.
