External Product Notice:
The CISSP® exam itself is not hosted by SANS. You will need to make separate arrangements to take the CISSP® exam. Please note as well that the GISP exam offered by GIAC is NOT the same as the CISSP® exam offered by (ISC)2.
Exam Format Change Notice:
Effective December 18, 2017 (ISC)2 changed (English Version-Only) the CISSP® exam to a Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) format. The new exam is 100-150 questions and time for completion is now three (3) hours. The computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) CISSP® exam enables you to prove your knowledge by answering fewer questions and completing the exam in half the time of previous format.
The GIAC Information Security Professional (GISP) certification validates a practitioner’s knowledge of the 8 domains of cybersecurity knowledge as determined by (ISC)2 that form a critical part of CISSP® exam. GISP certification holders will be able to demonstrate knowledge of asset security, communications and network security, identity and access management, security and risk management, security assessment and testing, security engineering, security operation, and software development security.
Asset Security
Communications and Network Security
Identity and Access Management
Security and Risk Management
Security Assessment and Testing
Security Engineering
Security Operation
Software Development Security
The CISSP® certification has been around for nearly 25 years. The exam is designed to test your understanding of the Common Body of Knowledge, which may be thought of as the universal language of information security professionals. It is often said to be a mile wide and two inches deep. The CISSP® exam covers a lot of theoretical information that is critical for a security professional to understand. However, this material can be dry, and since most students do not see the direct applicability to their jobs, they find it boring. The goal of this course is to bring the 8 domains of knowledge of the CISSP® to life. The practical workings of this information can be discovered by explaining important topics with stories, examples, and case studies. I challenge you to attend the SANS CISSP® training course and find the exciting aspect of the 8 domains of knowledge!
