Lesson 6 CISSP Domains, Weeks 7-8
The Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) is a valuable certification in the field of cybersecurity. “CISSP training is considered the gold standard for cyber security experts internationally. Despite thousands of jobs for CISSP certified individuals; there are only a few people who have this qualification.” (Warne, 2017) The CISSP domains changed a bit in early 2018, so you will find differences between the list of domains in two chapters of the book and the most updated version of 8 domains.

The objective is to improve protection of information system resources
The protection of a system must be documented in a systems security plan
The purpose is to provide an overview of the security requirements of the system and describe the controls in place or planned for meeting those requirements

Chapter e79 Assessments and Audits
This is the process of determining how effectively an entity being assessed meets specific security objectives
Three types of assessment and audit methods can be used : testing, examination, and interviewing
Testing is the process of exercising one or more assessment and audit objects under specified conditions to compare actual and expected behaviors
Examination is the process of checking, inspecting, reviewing, observing, studying, or analyzing one or more assessment and audit objects to facilitate understanding, achieve clarification, or obtain evidence.
Interviewing is the process of conducting discussions with individuals or groups within an organization to facilitate understanding, achieve clarification, or identify the location of evidence.

Midterm Paper
Choose four of the CISSP domains to explore with independent research and discuss in more depth. See page 21 for a list of the domains. You are free to choose from the new 2018 list of domains rather than the previous list in our book, but since our goal is not to study for the CISSP exam, the domains in the book are fine.
The paper should include a cover page, at least two references, citations in APA format, and a list of references. No abstract is required. The paper should be 5-7 pages in length, not including tables and figures.
