This course will assist you clarify all the recent changes taken place in the exam syllabus. It will provide an overview of what's changed and how this material has been developed for you.

CISSP Curriculum Overview

The CISSP is a fairly comprehensive course that covers a wide range of topics. It includes anything from physical security and fire protection to more in-depth technical information on the operation of the Internet, software development, and security testing.

With the exception of one, all of the domains have seen substantial modifications. As we shall see, number one has undergone a little change. However, domains 2 through 7 have all seen substantial alterations. (We will also explore how some of those modifications were already previously included in the official practice exams, study guide, and course materials.)

When we look at Domains 2 to 8, the resource categories are now shown as the resources we need to safeguard, and the various data activities in the data lifecycle are now highlighted. These are the key and most significant changes. We went through hundreds of slides each day on the official five-day course that I took, which cost around $2,500 (US).

This course covers all eight categories, namely-

• Security and Risk Management

• Asset Security

• Security Architecture and Engineering

• Communications and Network Security

• Identity and Access Management

• Security Assessment and Testing

• Security Operations

• Software Development Security

  
  

You won't be reading more than 50 books and standards because there are 1,800 pages in the first two alone! Without any direction on where to look for assistance, it is a very steep hill to climb. Instead, this course will provide a complete resourceful guide a walk through to the CISSP curriculum. You won’t have to go through a ton of material but use just this one.
