The technical skills validated through the CISSP certification exam will help prepare you for IT career opportunities such as:
- Cybersecurity Specialist
- Information Security Architect
- Senior Network Administrator
If you’re looking to launch or advance your career in cybersecurity, CISSP is one of the most in-demand certifications for mid to advanced-level cybersecurity jobs. We recommend you successfully pass the CompTIA Security+ exam before attempting more advanced certifications, such as CASP+ or CISSP.
Successfully passing the CISSP certification exam also gives you access to an extensive and highly-networked community at (ISC)2 with ongoing training, networking events, job opportunities, and more.
CISSP certification is approved by the US Department of Defense to meet requirements for employment positions listed under the 8140/8570 directive. If you have no prior work experience, or prior industry certifications, you will want to start building your IT, networking, and basic security fundamentals with the CompTIA Security+ exam.

Our full suite of career services support includes resume building, LinkedIn profile optimization, mock interview support, career coaching, and job placement support, and specialty workshops, to help ensure you’re positioned for success.
