Information Systems Security Engineering Professional
The Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP) is a CISSP who specializes in the practical application of systems engineering principles and processes to develop secure systems. An ISSEP analyzes organizational needs, defines security requirements, designs security architectures, develops secure designs, implements system security, and supports system security assessment and authorization for government and industry.
The broad spectrum of topics included in the ISSEP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK®) ensure its relevancy across all disciplines in the field of security engineering.
The CISSP-ISSEP is an ideal credential for proving you know how to incorporate security into all facets of business operations.
This security engineering certification recognizes your keen ability to practically apply systems engineering principles and processes to develop secure systems. You have the knowledge and skills to incorporate security into projects, applications, business processes and all information systems.
The CISSP-ISSEP was developed in conjunction with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). It offers an invaluable tool for any systems security engineering professional.
Why Earn the CISSP-ISSEP?
You’re on the leading edge of your craft. Here are just a few reasons to challenge yourself with this security certification:
- A demonstration of excellence. You want to stand out from your fellow CISSPs. This concentration proves you have an elite level of knowledge and expertise.
- New opportunities. The CISSP-ISSEP opens doors: from new career paths and jobs, to more exciting work.
- Growth and learning. This is an opportunity to dive deep and hone your craft. You’ll find new ways to grow and stay on the forefront of information security. And earning your concentration is a big challenge.
- Ease of continuing education and dues. As a CISSP, you already have a relationship with (ISC)². If you earn the CISSP-ISSEP, you only have to share your Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits with one organization. You may apply your CISSP-ISSEP CPE credits toward your CISSP requirement (as long as these credits are specific to security engineering). And your dues are a lot less than if you pursue an advanced certification with a separate organization. You’ll make great use of your time, energy and money.
