Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) (Voucher Included)

In a world where cyberattacks are rising, security managers are the driving force behind an organization's cybersecurity policies, ensuring that risk assessments, vulnerability assessments and threat analyses are conducted consistently to safeguard an organization's information. These key individuals typically started their IT careers in hands-on roles before earning their Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification and taking on managerial duties. This CISM training course is designed for professionals with technical expertise and experience in information security and/or IT security who want to move from an integral team player to manager.

Topics covered in this CISM certification course include information security governance, information risk management, information security program development and management, and information security incident management. By course completion, you understand key processes and procedures to effectively manage and respond to information security incidents.

Obtaining your CISM certification helps you gain credibility and add confidence to your interactions with stakeholders, regulators and peers. You learn how to develop an effective information security strategy aligned with business goals and directives, further helping you gain ongoing commitment from senior leadership and other stakeholders.

This course prepares you for the CISM certification exam, an industry-recognized credential that further helps you stand out. This course offers enrollment with a voucher.
