BENEFITS OF THIS COURSE

There are many benefits in becoming CISSP Certified.

The average CISSP earns US$131,030 a year. This reflects a number of aspects that are core to the CISSP, including extensive knowledge of cybersecurity, hands-on cybersecurity experience of at least four years’ paid employment in the industry and a commitment to a strong code of ethics.

The demand for CISSP-qualified personnel is significantly higher than the number of credential holders. And with the (ISC)² Cybersecurity Workforce Study indicating a global cyber workforce shortage of over 2.9 million men and women, there is no better time to accelerate your career development with a CISSP.

Holding a CISSP is valuable because the certification itself is a product of years of development and research. The CISSP was the first information security credential to meet the strict conditions of the ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 standard. The CISSP also meets the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) 8570 IAM Level II/III, IAT Level III and IASAE Level I/II.
