KEY LEARNING POINTS

The Certified Information Systems Security Professional C)ISSP course ensures that students acquire all the knowledge and skills they need to complete the certification exam and become a proven IT security expert. Over the course of ten modules students will be introduced to a number of security provisions that can be applied to protect enterprise class systems against cyberattack or negligence. Learners are taken through each concept and then given the opportunity to test their knowledge using a series of practical examples.

During the course students will cover:

• The principles of access control and how they can be strengthened and applied to keep unauthorised users out of a system.
• Telecommunications and network systems that need to be hardened to prevent data loss or theft.
• The role that information governance and risk management play in raising security standards, and how they need to be applied to corporate information systems.
• The importance of secure software architecture and design to help ensure that in-house systems protect data and resources.
• Using cryptography to protect data in transit and prevent unauthorised access of files without the correct encryption keys.
• Using security architecture and design principles to limit data access and potential angles of attack.
• Monitoring, auditing and improving operations security to keep systems secure at the point of access.
