1. Cloud computing is a top technology focus area for organizations
It’s no surprise that organizations are continuing to build their cloud infrastructure. In fact, 43% of global IT decision makers agree that cloud computing remains a top investment priority for 2020. As a result, IT decision makers are proactively addressing ways to upskill their internal workforce to meet their cloud adoption needs. In fact, 56% of IT decision makers say they will attempt to close skills gaps by training their existing staff—a 17% increase over 2019’s survey results. In addition, 80% of IT managers approved training for their staff, as opposed to only 59% last year. This is good news for IT professionals—organizations are placing more value on their internal workforce, and are seeking more opportunities to support their staff’s professional development.
2. Organizations view their certified employees as a competitive advantage
More and more IT leaders are supporting their staff in earning certifications. For example, of the 80% of IT decision makers who approved training, 70% of them did so for their staff to earn a certification or complete a recertification. These encouraging trends suggest that IT leaders see the value that certified staff offer their organizations. A compelling 94% of global IT decision makers agree that certified team members provide added value above and beyond the cost of certification and think their greatest benefit is helping to close skills gaps. To build on the findings from Global Knowledge, according to a recent study completed by Enterprise Strategy Group, an independent analyst firm, 97% of organizations that employ AWS Certified staff say doing so puts their company in a better competitive position to succeed over the next three to five years.
3. AWS Certifications are in high demand
With AWS as a top technology focus area for 2020, not surprisingly, AWS Certifications are in high demand. In fact, four AWS Certifications are in the top 10 IT certifications that IT professionals plan to pursue in 2020. These include AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (#1), AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (#3), AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (#5), and AWS Certified Security – Specialty (#10). Furthermore, IT professionals agree that holding one or more IT certifications puts them in a strong professional position, including enhanced job performance. That may be why 87% of IT professionals hold at least one certification—an increase of 2% from last year’s results.
4. Professionals with certifications see increased job effectiveness
If you’re wondering whether IT certifications are worth it, according to respondents from the 2020 Global Knowledge survey, the answer is yes. After earning a certification, IT professionals see an increase in their job effectiveness, including improved quality of work, increased engagement, and faster job performance. IT leaders agree and report that their certified staff have increased productivity, troubleshoot faster, and are more likely to meet client requirements.

The CCISO Certification is an industry-leading program that recognizes the real-world experience necessary to succeed at the highest executive levels of information security.
Bringing together all the components required for a C-Level positions, the CCISO program combines audit management, governance, IS controls, human capital management, strategic program development, and the financial expertise vital to leading a highly successful IS program. Material in the CCISO Program assumes a high-level understanding of technical topics and doesn’t spend much time on strictly technical information, but rather on the application of technical knowledge to an information security executive’s day-to-day work. The CCISO aims to bridge the gap between the executive management knowledge that CISOs need and the technical knowledge that many aspiring CISOs have. This can be a crucial gap as a practitioner endeavors to move from mid-management to upper, executive management roles. Much of this is traditionally learned as on the job training, but the CCISO Training Program can be the key to a successful transition to the highest ranks of information security management.

EC-Council’s CCISO Program has certified leading information security professionals around the world. A core group of highlevel information security executives, the CCISO Advisory Board, contributed by forming the foundation of the program and outlining the content that would be covered by the exam, body of knowledge, and training. Some members of the Board contributed as authors, others as exam writers, others as quality assurance checks, and still others as trainers. Each segment of the program was developed with the aspiring CISO in mind and looks to transfer the knowledge of seasoned professionals to the next generation in the areas that are most critical in the development and maintenance of a successful information security program. The Certified CISO (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 solely 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. In order to sit for the CCISO exam and earn the certification, candidates must meet the basic CCISO requirements. Candidates who do not yet meet the CCISO requirements but are interested in information security management can pursue the EC-Council Information Security Management (EISM) certification.
The CCISO is for information security executives aspiring to be CISOs through refining their skills and learning to align information security programs with business goals and objectives. This program also encourages existing CISOs to improve their technical and management skills, as well as business procedures.
To be approved to take the CCISO exam without first taking certified training, you will need to show evidence and present verifiers to show that you have 5 years of experience in each of the five CCISO domains. Experience waivers are available for some industry-accepted certifications and CCISO Exam Eligibility Application Form higher education. Between certification and training waivers, applicants can only waive 3 years of experience for each domain. If you have taken training, you must show 5 years of experience in 3 of the 5 domains in order to take the CCISO exam. Applicants found not qualified for the CCISO Exam may choose to take the EC-Council Information Security Manager (EISM) exam instead. The EISM exam is less challenging than the CCISO exam and leads to the EISM certification, which has no experience requirements, but does require that you take CCISO training. Candidates that successfully pass the exam will receive their C|CISO certificate and community privileges Members are expected to adhere to recertification requirements through EC-Council’s Continuing Education Requirements.
Exam Title: EC-Council Certified CISO
Exam Code: 712-50

• New sections covering GDPR
• Enhanced focus on Risk Management frameworks including NIST, TARA, OCTAVE, FAIR, COBIT, and ITIL
• More emphasis on Vendor Management
• Deep dive into Contract Management
• Step-by-step instructions on building and maturing a Security Program
• A CISO-level view of transformative technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Autonomous SOCs, Dynamic Deception, and more!
• Strategic planning deep dives
The program focuses on five domains to bring together all the components required for a C-Level position. It combines governance, security risk management, controls, audit management, security program management and operations, information-security core concepts, and strategic planning, finance, and vendor management––skills that are vital to leading a highly successful information security program.
The five domains were mapped in alignment to the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NCWF), a national resource that categorizes and describes cybersecurity work, listing common sets of duties and skills needed t perform specific tasks.
The framework consists of seven highly important categories; one of which is “Oversight and Development” and deals with leadership, management, direction, and advocacy. It was upon these requirements that the CCISO program was created, with skill development courses in legal advice and advocacy, strategic planning and policy development, Information Systems Security Operations (ISSO), and Security Program Management (CISO) being 95% related to the NCWF.
Accredited by ANSI
EC-Council has been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for its CCISO certification program. It is one of the few certification bodies whose primary specialization is information security in order to meet the ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 Personnel Certification Accreditation standard.
Complaint to the NICE Framework
The five domains of the CCISO program are mapped to the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NCWF), a national resource that categorizes and describes cybersecurity work, listing common sets of duties and skills needed to perform specific tasks.
It brings together all the components required for a C-Level position:
The CCISO program combines audit management, governance, IS controls, human capital management, strategic program development, and the financial expertise vital to leading a highly successful IS program.
Focuses on the application of technical knowledge:
Material in the CCISO Program assumes a high-level understanding of technical topics and doesn’t spend much time on strictly technical information, but rather on the application of technical knowledge to an information security executive’s day-to-day work.
Bridges the Gap between Technical Knowledge, Executive Management, and Financial Management
The CCISO aims to bridge the gap between the executive management knowledge that CISOs need and the technical knowledge that many aspiring CISOs have. This can be a crucial gap as a practitioner endeavors to move from mid-management to upper, executive management roles. Much of this is traditionally learned as on the job training, but the CCISO Training Program can be the key to a successful transition to the highest ranks of information security management.
Recognizes the Importance of Real-World Experience
To reach a C-Level position, an information security officer must have prior experience to gain a holistic idea of what to expect while in the field. With this in mind, the CCISO program consists of many real-world experiences faced by current CISOs around the world. The CCISO exam also challenges students to develop a business continuity plan for a company in a given industry and situation, use metrics to communicate risk for different audiences, and describes how to align security programs with the goals of the business–among many other exercises.
Designed by the Experts
The CCISO Advisory board is comprised of practicing CISOs who designed the program based on their day-to-day experiences - based on both technical and management concerns. The board is made up of security leaders from Amtrak, HP, the City of San Francisco, Lennar, the Center for Disease Control, universities, and consulting firms who have contributed their vast knowledge to create this program to address the lack of leadership training in information security.

Hello everyone. My name is Suresh GP. I'm the managing director of Taub Solutions. We have three companies here in India, in Singapore, and in the U.S. I'm very happy to be a DevOps Institute Ambassador. Today I'm going to talk about agile service management. Now many of you would have heard this, but few people would have said, "What is this agile service management?" Because agile has been a term always coming from the software development world. So what do I mean by agile service management? We all know for service management we talk about ITIL as a best practice framework. We have ITIL 4 coming as a release. We have a lot of clients who are already following processes. Like considering problem change. But they do not know about the advent of Lean, DevOps. How is this service management going to change? So we do a lot of consulting with our clients on service management. So when we had one of the client as us, "How are we going to change our existing service management processes, to where it's a new way of working?" And they're also asking, "We are having this Cloud coming in the picture. We are having this DevOps." So there is every moment coming in. Is service management still relevant? And that is where we came and said that service management is going to be the backbone. But they will have to evolve themselves and refine themselves in the form of how it needs to make an impact. So just for an example and you would have this time and again told that, change management is one of the most bureaucratic process every time you have it. So the cab meets once in a week, once in two weeks, but the release and deployment team says that we need to do daily deployments. How is it going to happen? Because you have two different frequencies. So we help organizations to move from an asset state process to a new way of working. That means we probably need to look at a process backlog, instead of product backlog. We need to look at Kanban boards where we're able to manage your incidents effectively. We are able to have visibility and collaboration at cross-functional teams. We are able to do at lease something every two to four weeks. So the whole notion of agile infrastructure operation is something people are closing doors. So we are saying that it is important to open our eyes widely and see how we can do that. So what we have seen is ability to make your processes streamline, effective. But also make sure that are we doing the things which is really required? So the process guide used to be about 30 page document to 100 pages. Does it actually go through a revision? I've seen only it going through a revision during audits because you need to have version date and update. But I'll be making some quick feedbacks loops. I'll be able to make process easy to use. And I'll be preventing people, you know, from going bypassing the process. So the whole process of agile service management focus on making your processes lean, focus on value, ensure that it is able to be compatible with rest of the other bodies, frameworks, and standards, and ensure that business value's realized. So agile service management is taking on a leap ahead now and we are so happy that with agile service management, thanks to DevOps Institute because they were the first to bring in the agile service management as a concept. And we've been doing it from last 2015 itself. And it's not just about the training, but we are now using this as a part of consulting. So going forwards, whether you are a service management practitioner or a professional, agile service management is going to help you address areas to become more responsive to business change demands, making sure that we are able to deliver value, but also making sure that we are part of the entire value chain. So in ITIL 4 we are going to talk about value chains, but this is already additional part of the agile service management. I'm really excited about it and I hope that you will take advantatage to explore this agile service management. Thank you.
