Overview
About the Course
The Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification is designed for information
security professionals with some existing experience and expertise. The certification is geared
toward proving your skills in one or more of the following four areas:
● Information security incident management
● Information risk management
● Information security governance
● Information security program development and management
There are more than 48,000 CISM-certified professionals worldwide, according to ISACA, the
global association that offers the credential. Indeed, an employment site, notes that CISM is one
of the most in-demand certifications within the information security world. While it takes some
time and effort to earn, gaining the CISM credential could be an effective way to move your
career forward, particularly if you’d like to pursue a leadership role in cybersecurity.
Earning a CISM certification may help demonstrate your proficiency in information security and
your advanced skills and knowledge of how security fits into business goals. As a CISM-certified
professional, you'll be able to design, implement, and manage an organization's security network.
You'll also be tasked with identifying possible threats and reducing damage in case of security
breaches.
When you’re weighing your options, it helps to keep your eyes on the future and the potential
benefits that this certification offers. One of the biggest benefits is that it puts you among a
community of elite information security professionals.
Because this certification may be challenging to get, it shows your commitment to your career and
to information security. Two additional benefits include increased job opportunities and higher
potential earning power.
Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) is an advanced certification that indicates that an
individual possesses the knowledge and experience required to develop and manage an
enterprise information security (infosec) program.
