Introduction to SSCP
Skills in information security are in higher demand than they
have ever been. Knowledge, experience, and abilities are no
longer sufficient in today’s world. Employers want proof, such
as your information security certifications, that you
continuously develop your abilities to stay current with the
latest threats and technology. SSCP is one of these
certifications. The abbreviation SSCP stands for Systems
Security Certified Practitioner. It is one of the top certifications
for honing your cybersecurity skills and knowledge. If you earn
the SSCP certification, you will have a globally recognized
certification that verifies your knowledge, skill, and
competencies in computer-related security.

The SSCP exam assesses knowledge of access controls, risk
assessment and analysis, security administration, incident
response, cryptography, network, communications, systems,
and application security. You can become an (ISC)2 Systems
Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) if you are a hands-on IT
professional with proven technical capabilities and practical
knowledge of security.

Domains of SSCP

The SSCP certificate covers seven domains in the Common Body of
Knowledge (CBK). The SSCP domains are:
•Domain 1: Access Controls
•Domain 2: Security Operations and Administration
•Domain 3: Risk Identification, Monitoring, and Analysis
•Domain 4: Incident Response and Recovery
•Domain 5: Cryptography
•Domain 6: Network and Communications Security
•Domain 7: Systems and Application Security
This article will cover the first domain of SSCP and what you can expect in
the SSCP exam from this domain.

SSCP Domain 1: Access Controls
Domain 1 of the SSCP certification exam is Access Controls. The Access
Controls comprises the weightage of 16% in the SSCP certification exam.
Administrators, managers, and system analysts can use access controls to grant
or prohibit access, direct their influence, and secure the contents of a
computer system in a network. The realm of access control is vast. This domain
covers authentication factors, organizational and user trust relationships,
subject-based and object-based access control, Mandatory Access Control
(MAC) and Discretionary Access Control (DAC), role-based and attribute-based
access control, and the access control management lifecycle. You will learn
about the concepts of implementing and enforcing access methods and
policies, as well as the procedures that allow administrators to restrict access
to systems and resources. You will also learn about a variety of security rules
for managing access. You will also learn how to use various access control
approaches in multiple settings across an organization. The first domain of the
SSCP certification exam covers the following subtopics:

 Implement and maintain authentication methods
 Support internetwork trust architectures
 Participate in the identity management lifecycle
 Implement access controls

1. Implement and Maintain Authentication Methods
The implement and maintain authentication methods
subsection will provide in-depth knowledge of authentication.
You will learn about various authentication methods such as
three-factors authentication and multi-factor authentications,
single sign-on, device authentication, and others. This section
also covers centralized and decentralized authentication.
2. Support Internetwork Trust Architectures
This subsection covers the trust relationships between users
and organizations over networks. Understanding basic network
architectures is an essential step in figuring out how to build
network trust. The various forms of trust relationships include
one-way, two-way, and transitive trust relationships. You will
learn extranet in-depth and third-party connections.

3. Participate in the Identity Management Lifecycle
The identity management lifecycle is a collection of technology and business
processes for identifying, maintaining, coordinating, and regulating access to
business tools and information. This subsection will provide you with the idea
of various processes involved in identity lifecycle management such as
authorization, proofing, provisioning and deprovisioning, maintenance,
entitlement, and more. This section will also cover Identity and Access
Management (IAM) systems in detail.
4. Implement Access Controls
This subsection provides you with the knowledge on choosing and applying
access controls to safeguard resources from unauthorized usage or entry. This
section covers several access control strategies, such as mandatory,
discretionary, non-discretionary, role-based, attribute-based, subject-based,
and object-based access controls. Users can use these access control
strategies in a variety of contexts within an organization.
