The CISSP certification is the gold standard for IT security certifications, with over 120,000 open CISSP jobs in the US, and an average CISSP salary in the US of over $125,000. The exam covers 8 domains, and, in this course, we will be covering Domain 2, with respect to the May 2021 exam update. We will first start with an introduction to Domain 2 and then start covering the topics within the domain, such as the information life cycle, data classification and clearance, the three states of data (data at rest, data in motion, and data in use), data handling, data storage, data retention, mission data, system owners, data custodians, memory and data remanence, data remanence and destruction, and data security frameworks. By the end of this course, you will be prepared for Domain 2 of the CISSP exam. You’ll also be provided with 30 practice questions, with answers and explanations that will allow you to self-assess knowledge in this domain.
