The CISSP certification is the gold standard for IT security certifications, with over 120,000 open CISSP jobs in the US, and an average CISSP salary in the US of over $125,000.

The exam covers eight domains; in this course, we will be covering Domain 6, with respect to the May 2021 exam update.

This course focuses on how we assess and test the security measures we have in place; this is done to ensure we are as secure as we think we are and to improve our security posture.

In Domain 6, we will start with assessment and test strategies, where we will see how and what to test. Which type of tests do we use, and do we want intrusive or non-intrusive? Then we will cover security process data and security control testing.

Later, we will move to test outputs; here, we will analyze the test output and then generate the report. Lastly, we will cover security architecture vulnerabilities. The course also includes 30 practice questions to test our learning from the course.

By the end of this course, you will be prepared for Domain 6 of the CISSP exam.
