Course Material

The SCCISP Foundation certification comprises a mixture of video presentations, reading material, quizzes and assignment based activities.Students are required to complete all modules and associated activities to be successful in their SCCISP studies. Students will also be required to assess and secure an IoT Smart Cities solution utilising the IoTSI Smart Cities and Critical Infrastructure Framework. A consultative and deployment based framework which when successful completed attests a SCCISP certified individual is trained and industry equipped to address real world IoT security and privacy requirements within the IoT and IIoT built environment.

This Industry based approach to cyber and privacy IoT challenges ensures employers and industry professionals that SCCISP certified professionals have the broad range of skills,both practical and academic that extend beyond traditional security certification.These skills incorporate the unique challenges facing IoT security service delivery and enablement.Cities, Buildings and Communities are working spaces, information portals and community information exchanges that require appropriate security controls to meet their future potential.

The SCCISP professional is trained to deliver these complex security skillsets. To achieve this, the SCCISP requires training not simply in Cyber or Privacy controls, but requires the necessary skillls to articulate these controls and their importance throughout the design and build process.Maintaining channels of communication between a new set of stakeholders and industry professionals.

These include; building occupiers, facilities managers, engineers, designers and urban planners.Engaging these professionals in a collaborative manner ensuring cyber security and privacy challenges affecting building and smart city environments are managed in a "by design" manner.The SCCISP certification extends traditional security training to address these smart world eco -sytstem security and privacy challenges.
