Overview

Aimed at security professionals, this course surveys the entire information security landscape and the technologies involved. The course addresses the eight knowledge domains that comprise the common body of knowledge (CBK) for information systems security professionals and will help delegates prepare for CISSP certification.

The course offers a theory based approach to the security process, with opportunities to discuss the immediate application of concepts and techniques described in the CBK to the real world. It can be considered as providing a good introduction to security management, architecture and engineering.

The course comprises of eight sessions that map directly to the (CBK), each one is theory based with instructor led discussions; there are no hands on labs.

Prerequisites

Delegates should have experience of at least two of the domains in the (CBK)®, for 5 years or more (4 years if they have achieved relevant certifications, e.g., MCSE). • Delegates must ensure that they have some knowledge of all CBK domains and are encouraged to read one or two of the books on the Reading List at ISC2.org. • Current requirements for the CISSP examination are to be found at ISC2.org.

QA will provide a CISSP guide book as pre-reading. It is expected that delegates review the guide and gain an appreciation of the key concepts in each of the eight CISSP domains in advance of the course. However, we do not expect delegates to be familiar with all the details of the guide book in advance of the course itself.

We recommend that work completed in the classroom is complemented by extra reading to ensure success in the exam. The amount of extra reading required will depend on the amount of experience the delegate has. The 'mile wide, inch deep' description indicates the challenge to most delegates, not all will have 'hands on' experience spanning all 8 domains of the CBK.
