Communication and network security

- Hi, I'm Mike Chapple, and I'd like to welcome you to our CISSP Communication and Network Security course. The Certified Information Systems Security Professional, or CISSP, certification is the gold standard for information security certification. You'll find that it's a core requirement for many mid and senior-level information security positions. Earning the CISSP requires demonstrating that you have sufficient work experience and passing an exam covering the eight domains of information security. This course covers the fourth of those eight domains, communication and network security. I have two decades of experience as an information security professional, and I've been involved in CISSP training and certification for most of those. As we work our way through this course, we will focus on each topic covered by domain four. We'll review how to apply secure design principles to network architecture. We'll also cover securing network components and communications channels. You'll learn how you can prevent or mitigate network attacks. And that's just a small sampling of the many topics covered in this course. These topics, combined with the information you learn in our other CISSP courses, will help you pass the CISSP exam and also provide a critical foundation for your career in information security.
