CISSP has long been the desired certification for the experienced security professional, preferably one with management responsibility. For IT professionals with less security experience or those primarily engaged in hands-on, operational security tasks, CISSP is less suitable, primarily due to the experience requirements.
SSCP was developed to provide this target group with relevant security knowledge. Participants in the SSCP training are often involved in the implementation, monitoring, and management of the IT infrastructure in accordance with information security guidelines, procedures, and requirements that must guarantee data confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility. CISSP and SSCP certified professionals speak the same security language but from their own perspectives, complementing each other in their different responsibilities.
SSCP also provides a complete overview of all operational security tasks and responsibilities, making it a useful training for almost any IT professional seeking an independent, internationally recognized security certification. SSCP is primarily a conceptual training that teaches you what and why things need to happen and how to ensure this tactically in policies. How you do this technically (hands-on) largely falls outside the scope of SSCP and is more found in alternatives like CompTIA Security+ or Certified Network Defender (CND).
As AI tools evolve from experimental to operational use, the SSCP Exam Outline has been adjusted to ensure that professionals can safely implement, monitor, and manage these technologies. By integrating AI topics into the seven SSCP domains, candidates are assessed on their ability to master the technical reality of AI - from securing automated access controls to deploying machine learning for real-time incident response.
In preparation for the SSCP training, you will receive the corresponding study materials, including practice questions, upon registration. This way, you will enter the classroom training better prepared and can ask more targeted questions based on the material covered to the experienced instructor. The result is an interactive course with more depth on the heavier topics. Our approach also increases your chances of passing the exam, with annual pass rates above 90%.
The SSCP training is classroom-based but can also be attended Live Online if desired. You will then attend the training live remotely with our own instructor, follow along with the notes on the whiteboard, participate in all labs, and can ask questions to both the trainer and your fellow participants. So, it's basically just like being present at the classroom training, but from your own location. If the Live Online training does not meet your expectations, you may attend the classroom training again free of charge within a year.
