CISSP Training

The Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) training course is the main course we provide.

This five-day training course is based around the eight fundamental domains of Information Security. These are:

• Security and Risk Management

• Asset Security

• Security Engineering

• Communications and Network Security

• Identity and Access Management

• Security Assessment and Testing

• Security Operations

• Software Development Security

After attending this course, delegates will be prepared to sit the associated exam that tests these domains. It is expected that candidates have at least five years experience of working with at least two of these domains, or four years with a relevant industry or degree level certification. Alternatively, associate status can be attained without these previous years of experience.

It is also required for delegates to purchase a book that will be referred to during the training sessions:

• Official (ISC)² Guide to the CISSP CBK. 4th Edition. (ISC2 Press). Adam Gordon

This CISSP training course also involves participation in some exercises and tasks outside of the training sessions.

We also offer the CSSLP Boot Camp, which intends to provide delegates with a detailed understanding of the eight domains of the CSSLP Body of Knowledge, and recognises a candidate's extensive experience.
