Course Length:

2 Days

Course Description:

This course is designed to prepare (ISC)2 CISSP-certification holders for the Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP) exam. (ISC)2 created the CISSP-ISSEP engineering-specific concentration in conjunction with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) providing an invaluable tool for any systems security engineering professional. CISSPR-ISSEP is the guide for incorporating security into projects, applications, business processes, and all information systems. The course guides students to understand the CISSP-ISSEP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) by comparing it to a traditional Systems Engineering model, enabling you to see the correlation of how security fits into the design and development process for information systems. The course also introduces key points of more than 50 U.S. government policies and procedures that need to be understood in order to understand the CBK and protect U.S. government information.

Who Should Attend:

This course is designed to prepare (ISC)2 CISSP-certification holders for the Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP) exam.

Benefits of Attendance:

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Employ Information Assurance Technical Framework (IATF) processes to discover users' information protection needs and design systems that will effectively and efficiently address those needs.
• Understand the concepts of defense in depth, risk assessment, and the systems lifecycle.
• Describe system development models and relate security tasks to these models.
• Identify, understand, and implement the Certification and Accreditation (C+A) processes.
• Identify, understand, and apply the practices as defined by the United States Government Information Assurance regulations.
• Demonstrate his or her knowledge of the standards and regulations pertaining to systems security engineering, certification and accreditation, information assurance, and technical management.
• Demonstrate his or her knowledge of the four domains of the CISSP-ISSEP CBK through various scenarios and models
• Create a study plan to successfully pass the CISSP-ISSEP Examination
