Course overview
If you’re looking to gain core knowledge on access control mechanisms and organisational network security in order to minimise system vulnerability to hacks, then the Certified Information Systems Security Professional certification is for you.
This certification is for the next generation of information security leaders. You’ll require advanced security skills, experience, and credibility to take this exam.
You’ll show your ability to design, engineer, implement, and manage an overall information security program to protect organisations from growing sophisticated attacks.

The CISSP is put together using an up to date, global common body of knowledge. This ensures the security professionals it produces have deep knowledge and understanding of new threats, technologies, regulations, standards, and practices.
