To earn the CISSP credential, candidates must show in-depth knowledge of advanced network security solutions and have years of hands-on field experience.

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has awarded CISSP official accreditation in the area of network security under ISO/IEC 17024. This represents the first time that an IT accreditation has been given ANSI approval. CISSP is also formally recognized by the United States Department of Defense in their IAT and IAM disciplines. In addition, the CISSP has been accepted as a baseline for the United States National Security Agency's ISSEP initiative to safeguard the NII.

• Operations Security
  Operations security involves determining the controls over equipment and storage media and overseeing the operators and administrators who have access privileges to any of these assets. Audit and monitoring are the mechanisms and techniques that allow the awareness of security-related activity and consequent efforts to identify the key factors and convey the pertinent information to the appropriate person, team, or mechanism.

• Site Security
  Physical security addresses protection mechanisms for the whole physical facility, from the perimeter to the inside office space, including all of the information system resources.

• Cryptography
  Data Encryption involves the concepts, techniques, and methods of disguising data to ensure its consistency, confidentiality, and authenticity.

• Telecom, LAN and Internet Security
