Certified CISO Certification Training (CCISO)

Certified CISO Certification Training (CCISO)

  • Classroom
  • Online, Instructor-Led

Course Description

Bringing together all the components required for a C-Level position, the CCISO program combines audit management, governance, IS controls, human capital management, strategic program development, and the financial expertise vital to leading a highly successful IS program.

Learning Objectives

The CCISO aims to bridge the gap between the executive management knowledge that CISOs need and the technical knowledge that many aspiring CISOs have. This can be a crucial gap as a practitioner endeavors to move from mid-management to upper, executive management roles. Much of this is traditionally learned as on-the-job training, but the CCISO Training Program can be the key to a successful transition to the highest ranks of information security management.
