CISSP 2024: Security Audit & Controls Testing

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. A security audit is a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s information systems. Typically, they measure the systems and applications against an audit checklist of industry best practices, externally established standards, and/or federal regulations. In this course, differentiate internal, external, and third-party auditing and learn about locations for auditing and controls testing, the purpose of a vulnerability assessment, and the basics of penetration testing. Next, explore log reviews and log data, code review and testing techniques, and compare synthetic transactions, benchmark, and misuse case testing. Finally, examine coverage analysis concepts, compare interface testing methods, and discover the purpose of compliance checks. This course helps prepare learners for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam.
