ISC2 CISSP Overview
The (ISC)² Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam is one of the most widely recognized credentials in the information security field. It covers an extensive body of knowledge related to cybersecurity, including eight domains: Security and Risk Management, Asset Security, Security Architecture and Engineering, Communication and Network Security, Identity and Access Management, Security Assessment and Testing, Security Operations, and Software Development Security. This broad scope is designed to validate a candidate’s depth and breadth of knowledge in protecting organizations from increasingly complex cyber threats.
Achieving a CISSP certification signals a strong understanding of industry best practices and the ability to design, implement, and manage a comprehensive cybersecurity program. As a result, the exam is often regarded as challenging, requiring both practical experience and intensive study of each domain’s key principles. Many cybersecurity professionals pursue the CISSP to demonstrate their expertise, enhance their credibility, and open doors to higher-level roles such as Security Manager, Security Consultant, or Chief Information Security Officer.
