What is CISSP®?
The Certified Information Systems Security Professional® (CISSP®) is one of the most well-known and respected Cyber Security certifications in the world.
CISSP® helps you develop the expert knowledge you need to implement and manage an Enterprise Security Programme (ESP) for your company. It is a key certification for professionals who aim for senior Cyber Security roles.
Who is CISSP® for?
CISSP® is ideal for Security Architects, Analysts, Managers, Auditors, and Consultants, as well as those aiming to become Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs).
Before attending this course, you should have at least five years of paid, full-time work experience in two or more of the eight CISSP® Domains. If you do not have this experience, you can still get certified and you will have six years to earn the work experience required. See the full prerequisites.
