In this CISSP training course, you will gain the knowledge and skills needed to successfully pass the CISSP Training, take the certification exam and become a Certified Information Systems Security Professional.

Course objectives

  • Manage security and risk
  • Secure assets
  • Design security framework
  • Secure communication and networks
  • Securely develop software

Prerequisites

  • To succeed in this course and pass the exam, you should meet the s the specific requirements established by (ISC)².

  • If you don’t have the required experience, you should consider taking the Associate of (ISC)² exam first.

  • The CISSP certification exam takes up to four hours to complete and consists of 125 - 175 multiple choice and advanced innovative questions. A score of 700 out of 1,000 is required to pass the exam.

  • As one of only 12 (ISC)² CPE Submitters worldwide, Learning Tree can submit courses on your behalf to (ISC)² for CPE credit. (ISC)² members can earn Group A credits for attending any of our cybersecurity courses, and Group B General Education credits for attending any other Learning Tree course they attend.
