Course Overview
To become a CISM, you must submit verified evidence of a minimum of five years of information security work experience, with a minimum of three years of information security management work experience in three or more of the job practice analysis areas. The work experience must be gained within the ten-year period preceding the application date for certification or within five years from the date of originally passing the exam.
Learning Objectives
The CISM certification promotes international practices and validates your knowledge and experience around effective security management and consulting. The four CISM domains include:
- Security governance: To effectively address the challenges of protecting an organization's assets, senior management must define the desired outcomes of the information security program.
- Risk management: Asset classification and valuation is an essential part of an effective risk management program, the greater the value, the greater the impact, the greater the risk.
- Information security program development and management: The purpose of this area is to implement management's governance strategy, the due diligence, and due care of protecting the corporation's assets.
- Information security incident management: This area focuses on effectively managing unexpected (and expected) events, which may or may not be disruptive, and can be summed up in five words: identify, protect, detect, respond and recover.
