ISC2 Certification Training Course

ISC2 ISSEP® Information Systems Security Engineering Professional Certification Training Course

Build systems security engineering expertise with Accumentum’s ISC2 ISSEP® Information Systems Security Engineering Professional Certification Training Course — developed to help you incorporate security into projects, applications, business processes, and information systems.

Course focus: Systems security engineering foundations, risk management, security planning and engineering, systems security implementation, verification and validation, and secure operations, change management, and disposal.

Course Overview

Master the five ISSEP domains of systems security engineering.

The ISC2 ISSEP® Information Systems Security Engineering Professional Certification Training Course with Accumentum provides a comprehensive exploration of the Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP) concentration, emphasizing the practical application of systems engineering principles and processes to develop secure systems. Developed in conjunction with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), ISSEP recognizes the ability to analyze organizational needs, define security requirements, design security architectures, develop secure designs, implement system security, and support system security assessment and authorization for government and industry. Designed for senior systems engineers, information assurance engineers, and security analysts, this course covers the five domains of the current ISSEP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK®): Systems Security Engineering Foundations; Risk Management; Security Planning and Engineering; Systems Security Implementation, Verification and Validation; and Secure Operations, Change Management and Disposal. Participants gain an in-depth understanding of integrating security throughout the system lifecycle, managing technical procurement and risk, and engineering resilient security solutions aligned with ISC2 methodologies. The course prepares learners for the ISSEP certification exam while empowering them to strengthen secure system design and operations across the enterprise.
