Pass the CISSP and ISSEP exams with this new edition of the bestselling prep guide!
The U.S. government has mandated that all contractors–nearly all current CISSPs, and those yet to be certified as CISSPs–attain the security engineering subject certification Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP). The ISSEP targets specific job requirements or career directions, and is an extension of the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification–the industry standard test for IT security professionals. The CISSP Prep Guide, Second Edition includes new, up-to-date CISSP review material that is relevant to the ISSEP, and provides comprehensive coverage of the ISSEP for those individuals who already have the CISSP credential.
CISSP-exam experts, Ronald Krutz and Russell Dean Vines, have written an extremely focused revision to their bestseller that is essential reading if you’re taking the CISSP test for the first time. Krutz and Vines cover:
- Inside information regarding the new domains of the ISSEP that focus on technical knowledge such as ISSE processes and government regulations
- How the ISSEP complements the CISSP by comprehensively addressing the systems engineering side of information security
- The principal domains addressed by the ISSEP certification, including: systems security engineering, certification and accreditation, technical management, and U.S. Government information assurance regulations
