Rapid7 to provide CISSP seminars to (ISC)2 certification candidates

Rapid7 announced a strategic alliance with the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, Inc. (ISC)2 to provide the updated official (ISC)2 educational seminars to IT security professionals for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) as well as the accompanying exam.

Starting January 2007, Rapid7’s official (ISC)2 instructors will conduct five-day comprehensive seminars each quarter to review the (ISC)2 CBK, which is the basis of the CISSP exam. The CBK is “a compendium of industry best practices.”

“We are very excited to have Rapid7 on board as an affiliate,” said Mark McIntosh, with strategic alliances for (ISC)2. “The company brings real-life experience with security systems to our mission of creating an elite cadre of IT security professionals dedicated to protecting IT infrastructure.”
