(ISC)² CISSP® Training Boot Camp

The CISSP certification is a career differentiator that adds integrity and recognition to a security professional’s skillset and name. The CISSP is referred to as the “gold standard” of information security certifications within the security community due to its pre-requirements, subject matter and maintenance requirements needed to remain certified.

In order to obtain the CISSP certification, you must have at least 5 years of professional experience in the information security field, with a work history reflecting direct experience in at least 2 of the 8 domains listed in the (ISC)² CISSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK).
