Free CISSP Course
CISSP 8 Security Domains
The free CISSP course uses eight security domains to show how security decisions affect one another. Enroll to connect risk and access controls with the way systems are designed, tested, and supported over time.
About this course
This free CISSP course helps you see information security as a set of connected responsibilities. You start with risk and governance, then consider how an organization classifies information and decides who may use it. Secure architecture and communication lessons show how those decisions influence system design. This gives you a broader view than treating each security control as a separate technical task.
The remaining domains follow what happens as people use and change the systems. You study access provisioning, control testing, incident response, and software development security. A test can reveal that a control needs work, while an incident may show where monitoring or recovery arrangements need attention. The course provides beginners with a map of the eight domains so they can identify which area to study in more depth and understand how it relates to the others.
