Certified Information Security Officer (CISO)
Exam Code: CISO-001
The reality is no longer “if” your company has been hacked, or even “when.” The reality today is, “You’ve been hacked, you just don’t know it yet.” The need is growing for individuals with a cross-section of business acumen, technical ability, and expertise in cybersecurity. A CISO is an executive who manages information security in an organization. This role is responsible for ensuring all IT technology and information assets are adequately protected and in line with company goals.
The CISO role goes beyond expertise in information security. It relates technology and security needs to the overall vision and business goals of an organization.
While the daily role varies, skills for this position fall into three distinct areas:
- Risk and compliance management
- Technical IT expertise
- Communication and leadership skills
