CISSP Knowledge Transfer Program - Free Introduction Session

​The Silicon Valley ISSA CISSP Knowledge Transfer Program is not a boot camp, cram course, or video library. It is a rigorous, instructor-led program designed to transfer strategic security knowledge that practitioners actually use in leadership, architecture, and decision-making roles.

​Over the past five years, the Silicon Valley ISSA Chapter has continuously refined this program based on real-world practitioner feedback. The result is a proven methodology with a 100 percent pass rate, focused on deep understanding across all eight CISSP domains rather than memorization.

​This free introduction session gives you the opportunity to meet the instructor, understand the structure and expectations, and decide whether the program aligns with your professional development goals.
