Cybersecurity

Certified Information Systems Security Officer

Course Overview

The Certified Information Systems Security Officer course is designed for forward-thinking security professionals that want the advanced skill set necessary to manage and consult businesses on information security.

The C)ISSO addresses the broad range of industry best practices, knowledge and skills expected of a security leader. The candidate will learn both the theory and the requirements for practical implementation of core security concepts, practices, monitoring and compliance. Through the use of a risk-based approach, a C)ISSO is able to implement and maintain cost-effective security controls that are aligned with business requirements.

Whether you are responsible for the management of a Cyber Security team, a Security Officer, an IT auditor or a Business Analyst, the C)ISSO course is the ideal way to increase your knowledge, expertise, skill, and credibility.

The C)ISSO program standards are closely aligned with those of the ISO27001, NIST, CISM® and the CISSP® CBK® exam objectives. The C)ISSO excels by providing a well-rounded, comprehensive overview of essential security topics.
