ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity® (CC®)

This entry-level cybersecurity certification will prove to employers that you have the foundational knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for an entry- or junior-level cybersecurity role.

ISC2 CC will signal your understanding of fundamental security best practices, policies and procedures, as well as your willingness and ability to learn more and grow on the job. It's the first step on a career-long journey that will help you gain experience and work towards advanced qualifications such as the CISSP and CCSP.

During the course, you'll develop a strong understanding of core cybersecurity principles, including confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA), risk management, governance, compliance, and security controls. 
You'll learn how organisations manage identity and access, implement security governance frameworks, promote security awareness, and measure cybersecurity effectiveness.

The course also covers modern networking and cloud security concepts such as network segmentation, Zero Trust, cloud service and deployment models, and the shared responsibility model.

In addition, you'll gain knowledge of security operations and incident response, including threat actors, cyber threat intelligence, security monitoring, asset protection, data security, security testing, and incident response planning.

Designed for individuals entering the cybersecurity profession, this updated course reflects the latest ISC2 exam objectives and prepares you with the foundational knowledge required to support cybersecurity activities in entry-level and junior security roles
