For IT leaders
What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course
Security leadership often needs a common operating model for governance, risk, compliance, and technical security decisions across teams. This CISSP course is a fit for IT Directors, Training Managers, and Team Leads supporting experienced security practitioners, IT managers, architects, and engineers who need management-level security breadth and certification readiness.
The course covers approximately 21 hours, 40 minutes of training, making it practical for a multi-week enablement plan rather than a one-time workshop. Topics move from ethics, governance, compliance, investigations, policy, BCP/DR, and risk management into asset security, secure design, cryptography, networking, IAM, testing, auditing, infrastructure protection, physical security, and secure software development. For change management, teams should plan time for discussion around existing policies, audit requirements, incident processes, and security ownership.
CBT Nuggets supports rollout through Playlists for assignment structure, Practice Exams for certification preparation, and Team Reporting to track progress and completion.
