What You'll Learn
Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)
The CISM is ideal for an IT professional seeking a new career opportunity or for those ready to validate their experience. The certification promotes international security practices and recognises the individuals who manage, design, oversee and assess an enterprise’s information security. The demand for skilled information security management professionals is on the rise, and the CISM certification is the globally accepted standard of achievement in this area.
Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA)
Being CISA certified gives you audit experience, skills and knowledge, and demonstrates you’re capable of assessing vulnerabilities. You will also learn how to report on compliance and institute controls within the enterprise. The major benefit of passing this certification is that you’ll be able to demonstrate the skills you’ve gained and maintain the level of knowledge required to meet the dynamic challenges of a modern enterprise. The CISA combines the achievement of passing a comprehensive exam with recognition of work and educational experience.
Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
This certification is for the next generation of information security leaders. You’ll require advanced security skills, experience, and credibility to take this exam. You’ll show your ability to design, engineer, implement, and manage an overall information security program to protect organisations from growing sophisticated attacks. Not only is the CISSP an objective measure of excellence, but it’s also a globally recognised standard of achievement. The CISSP is put together using an up to date, global common body of knowledge. This ensures the security professionals it produces have a deep knowledge and understanding of new threats, technologies, regulations, standards, and practices.
Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP)
The SSCP certification is the ideal credential if you’ve got proven technical skills and practical security knowledge in hands-on operational IT roles. It validates your ability to implement, monitor and administer IT infrastructure. It also gives you a strong understanding of information security policies and procedures that ensure data confidentiality, integrity and availability. The SSCP indicates a technical ability to tackle the operational demands and responsibilities required in a security role. You will be tested on things like authentication, security testing, intrusion detection/prevention, incident response and recover y, attacks and countermeasures, cryptography, malicious code countermeasures, and more.
