IT Masters Certified Information Security Management Prep

 

The increase in cyber security issues in the press seems relentless. Organisational leaders in all types of industries are looking for capable security managers to navigate them safely through the dangers of this highly connected world.

The CISM certification from ISACA is considered one of the key certifications to demonstrate knowledge of cyber security management concepts and processes within an enterprise. The CISMs strength is its focus on aligning a cyber security program with business goals. This course will guide you through the rich, but sometimes long and mystical CISM material in preparation for the exam.

This short course is also a taster of our Cyber Security Masters qualifications.
