SSCP (ISC)2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner Official Study Guide- PDF Download

Description

Who Should Read This Book?

Although the Systems Security Certified Practitioner certification has been offered by (ISC)2 for many years, in 2015 the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK), which forms the foundation for the exam, was substantially modified. To keep the certification relevant with the rapid developments in the industry, the (ISC)2 organization regularly undertakes a program to ascertain the new skills required by the individuals holding its certifi cation. It has been
estimated that as much as 25 to 30 percent of new information has been added to various (ISC)2 certifications during this process. As should be expected, the SSCP exam was changed to refl ect the additional information and knowledge required of candidates.

These changes were announced as recently as the fi rst quarter of 2015. Although other exam preparation sources may contain adequate information for past examinations, they may not offer the complete scope of the new information as contained in this book.

The SSCP: Systems Security Certifi ed Practitioner Study Guide is intended for candidates wishing to achieve the Systems Security Certified Practitioner certification. It is a comprehensive exam preparation guide to assist you in understanding the various concepts that will be included on the exam.

Although deep technical knowledge and work experience are not required to pass the examination, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of security technologies such as networking, client/server architecture, and the devices and controls used to reduce risk to organizations. This book covers items such as network telecommunications
as well as cryptography in very down-to-earth, easy-to-understand language that makes comprehension and information retention easy and painless.

What Is Covered in This Book

This textbook is a comprehensive review of all of the subjects you should be familiar with prior to taking the SSCP certifi cation exam. It generally follows the exam outline as expressed by the (ISC)2 organization. Various learning tools will be used, such as examples and typical applications of many of the concepts.

You will also read case studies of successful and sometimes not-so-successful real-world examples. Each chapter will include notes that will elaborate in a little more detail about a concept as well as a number of exam points that serve as detailed reminders of important concepts that are important to remember.
As you will see, this book is not a condensed “exam notes guide” type of book. Instead, it comprehensively covers the different subjects and categories of information that a practicing SSCP should know, not only to pass the certification examination but also to apply in the workplace.

To successfully pass this certification examination as well as any future (ISC)2 certification examination, it is important not to just memorize the material but to learn and understand the topics. If you understand the material and how it’s applied, you will always be successful on an examination.
