The (ISC)2 SSCP CBK Review Seminar
You Will Learn How To
  • Prepare for SSCP Certification based on the (ISC)2 CBK
  • Identify the access control standards and procedures that define users and user rights
  • Explore security operations and administration policies that maintain confidentiality and availability
  • Examine the risk, response and recovery processes essential for identifying and controlling information loss
  • Recognize the cryptography principles for disguising information and ensuring information integrity
  • Review core elements of network security including network structures and transmission methods

Course Benefits
This course provides a comprehensive overview of information security concepts and industry best practices and is the only review course endorsed by (ISC)2. In this course, you cover the seven SSCP domains as outlined in the (ISC)2 CBK and analyze the latest information-system security issues. You also develop an individual study plan to enhance your exam preparation skills.

Who Should Attend
Security professionals, government and military personnel seeking IAT-1 or IAT-2 certification to fulfill the DoD 8570.1 Directive, network security personnel and managers. Participants should be aware of the exam eligibility criteria established by (ISC)2.

Course Workshop
Throughout this course, you review in-depth the seven SSCP domains as outlined by the (ISC)2 CBK. Workshops include:
  • Reviewing the seven SSCP domains including access controls, network security and cryptography
  • Uncovering areas to further develop and expand your exam preparedness
  • Investigating the latest information-system security issues, concerns and countermeasures
  • Reinforcing key areas of the CBK through numerous review sessions
