Certified Information Systems Security Professional

Our Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) training course aims to supply delegates with a theory-based approach to learning the Information Systems security process and how to apply this process practically to real-life scenarios.

The course is based around teaching the eight fundamental domains of Information Security, which provide delegates with all the information they require to obtain a broad understanding of Information Security and pass the CISSP exam.

The CISSP certification is globally recognised as the best Information Systems Security certification for Security Professionals. Our trainers use a theory-based training strategy, allowing for a clear explanation of CISSP terminology and methodology. Delegates can easily gain a comprehensive knowledge of the Information Security process by attending this course.

The content of this course is largely centred on the eight fundamental domains of Information Security, which encompass everything delegates need to know about the topic. Despite being wholly theory-based, the CISSP certification emphasises the necessity of practically applying what is learned and effectively trains delegates to do this.

Hence, by the end of the course, delegates will have acquired the knowledge and skills required to be able to design, develop, apply, and manage a security program to prevent malicious cyber-attacks. Thus, these individuals become greatly desirable for employers and can greatly improve their employability prospects. Certified Information Systems Security Professionals are crucial additions to the team as they can prevent the occurrence of a number of potentially harmful attacks to a business’s systems.

The fundamental eight domains of Information Security are taught during this certification, providing delegates with all the information they require to pass the exam.
