Certified Information Systems Security Professional Standard in United States

Certified Information Systems Security Professional Standard

Overview of Certified Information Systems Security Professional Standard in relation to cyber crime: [1] Earning the CISSP credential involves considerable preparation to understand ten ”domain areas” of knowledge. To be eligible to take the CISSP exam, a minimum of three years of full-time work experience is mandated in one or more of the ten domain areas in addition to any education obtained (at least one year in the professional field). The first three domains address security management, access control, and technology for securing data. The next three domains address the design and implementation of security architecture across infrastructure components. And the last four domains have to do with various aspects of integrating information security with other organization issues, such as legal and ethical contexts, physical security, and business continuity planning.
