Why this course exists
To develop cross-cutting knowledge in cybersecurity and information security, with method, a common language and application capability, while also supporting preparation for the certification exam.
In many organisations, security “exists” but fails in critical areas: consistent governance, effective risk management, coherent security architecture, operations and incident response supported by evidence, and secure development.
The CISSP® exam is associated with broad information security and cybersecurity competencies. The course helps participants consolidate knowledge and practice in the main areas assessed, through a structured preparation approach.
What this course enables you to do
Govern and manage risk
Apply principles, policies and criteria to protect information and assets, supporting risk-based decisions.
Design security
Consolidate foundations of security architecture and engineering for systems, networks and modern environments.
Assess and test
Understand security assessment, testing, evidence and critical interpretation of results to improve controls.
Operate and respond
Strengthen security operations, monitoring, logs and incident management, including forensic concepts.
Topics and competence areas addressed throughout the course
Governance, policies and risk management
Asset security
Security architecture and engineering
Communication and network security
IAM — identity and access management
Security assessment and testing
Security operations and incident response
SDLC security and software vulnerabilities
Value for the organisation
- Stronger common language and consistent criteria in cybersecurity, reducing ambiguity in decision-making.
- Greater ability to assess and manage risk, prioritise controls and justify investment.
- Improved operational maturity, including assessment, testing, operations, incidents and evidence.
- Professionals better prepared to act with an integrated view across governance, architecture, operations and secure development.
Introduction
The CISSP Exam Preparation Course is professional training in cybersecurity and information security, intended for professionals who wish to prepare for the CISSP® certification exam.
Develop a structured view of information security and cybersecurity, oriented towards roles that lead, support or influence decisions in security, governance and the operation of critical IT processes. The course supports preparation for the CISSP® exam and strengthens the ability to consolidate concepts, align terminology, frame practices and control the reasoning required to respond to exam requirements with rigour and consistency.
The CISSP Exam Preparation Course addresses the main areas assessed in the exam, including Security and Risk Management, Asset Security, Security Architecture and Engineering, Communication and Network Security, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Security Assessment and Testing, Security Operations and Software Development Security. Consolidation is carried out through discussion, original exercises by thematic area and Behaviour® simulation, aimed at transforming knowledge into exam performance.
The training includes proprietary support resources, guided discussion, exercises by thematic area and a final exam simulation.
