Course overview
If you’re an information security professional looking to demonstrate your competence in best security practices in IT, then the Systems Security Certified Practitioner certification is for you.
The SSCP certification is the ideal credential if you’ve got proven technical skills and practical security knowledge in hands-on operational IT roles.
It validates your ability to implement, monitor and administer IT infrastructure. It also gives you a strong understanding of information security policies and procedures that ensure data confidentiality, integrity and availability.
The SSCP indicates a technical ability to tackle the operational demands and responsibilities required in a security role.
You will be tested on things like authentication, security testing, intrusion detection/prevention, incident response and recovery, attacks and countermeasures, cryptography, malicious code countermeasures, and more.
