Certified Information Systems Security Officer (CISSO)

The CISSO 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 CISSO 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 CISSO course is the ideal way to increase your knowledge, expertise, skill, and credibility.
