CISSP 2024: Site & Facility Security

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Physical security consists of tested practices for protecting building sites and equipment (and all information and software contained therein) from theft, vandalism, natural disaster, human-caused catastrophes, and accidental damage, thereby maintaining overall organizational security. Begin this course by exploring site and facility security design principles, as well as perimeter and internal security controls to gain insights into safeguarding both the outer and inner layers of infrastructure. Then you will investigate security concerns for wiring closets, distribution frames, server rooms, data centers, and media and evidence storage facilities. Next, you will examine security issues for restricted and work areas, utilities, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Additionally, you will focus on environmental topics, including fire prevention, detection, and suppression. Finally, you will discover power issues and controls, including redundancy and backup, and personnel safety concerns including insider threats, social media impacts, two-factor authentication (2FA) fatigue, emergency management, and duress. This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.
