What is the CCISO training?
CCISO program is the first of its kind training and certification program aimed at producing top-level information security executives. The CCISO does not focus on technical knowledge but on the application of information security management principles from an executive management point of view. The program was developed by sitting CISOs for current and aspiring CISOs.
The CCISO certification is a leadership course for experienced information security professionals covering five domains:
-
- Governance
- Risk Management, Controls and Audit Management
- Program & Operations Management
- IS Core Concepts
- Strategic Planning, Finance, Vendor Management
The content of the CCISO Program is from the perspective of executive management. The training program is built around responding to scenarios written by our contributing CISOs drawing on their experiences leading some of the world’s top organizations’ security programs. During the CCISO workshop, students will be challenged to develop a business continuity plan for a company in a given industry and situation, use metrics to communicate risk for different audiences, and describe how to align a given security program with the goals of the business in which it resides, among many other exercises.
Who is this for?
The CCISO program is for the executives looking to hone their skills and learn to better align their information security programs to the goals of organization as well as aspiring CISOs. Other information security management certification programs focus on middle management, CCISO focuses on exposing the middle managers to executive-level content as well as encouraging existing CISOs to continually improve their own processes and programs.
