CCISO : Certified Chief Information Security Officer

Overview

The C|CISO Training Workshop is a premium Training & Certification program for aspiring Chief Information Security Officers that wish to penetrate the inner sanctum of Information Security Management and Leadership.

During the C|CISO Training Workshop, participants will be challenged to develop a business continuity plan for a company in a given industry and situation, use metrics to communicate cyber 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. The challenges are aimed at helping aspiring leaders develop business acumen, practice on their managerial skills and further hone their technical expertise by diving deep into how security should be injected into the procurement process and how a CISO should manage budgets and assets.

The C|CISO course has certified leading information security professionals around the world and is the first of its kind training and certification program aimed at producing top-level Information Security Leaders. The C|CISO 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 seasoned CISOs for current and aspiring CISOs. C|CISO Material 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 C|CISO 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 C|CISO Training Program can be the key to a successful transition to the highest ranks of information security management.
