Security and Compliance

Progent can provide fast and affordable access to CISSP-certified cybersecurity consultants. CISSP is the most esteemed cybersecurity credential in the IT industry and recognizes proven mastery of a global standard for network security. To be granted the CISSP credential, candidates must demonstrate extensive understanding of modern cybersecurity solutions and confirm years of professional work experience.

ANSI has granted the CISSP credential official accreditation in the field of cybersecurity under ISO/IEC 17024. This represents the first time that an information technology accreditation has been given ANSI approval. CISSP is also formally recognized by the United States Department of Defense in their Information Assurance Technical and Managerial (IAT and IAM) categories. In addition, the CISSP has been adopted as a standard for the United States NSA's Information Systems Security Engineering Professional initiative to protect the National Information Infrastructure (NII).

  This addresses the important security concepts associated with software development. Applications development security defines the environment where software is planned and produced and elucidates the vital part software has in providing IT network protection.

• Secure Operations
  This has to do with defining the controls over hardware and media and overseeing the operators and administrators who have access permissions to these assets. Audit and tracking are the mechanisms and techniques that permit the identification of security-related events and follow-on efforts to identify the key factors and report the pertinent information to the designated individual, team, or process.

• Site Security
  Physical security addresses security mechanisms for the entire physical facility, from the perimeter to the desk, including all of the IT network assets.
