CISM - Certified Information Security Manager

SecureNinja's (5) five day CISM training and certification boot camp in Washington DC metro and San Diego, CA provides executive management with assurance that those earning the designation have the required experience and knowledge to provide effective security management, and consulting services. Individuals earning the CISM certification become part of an elite peer network, attaining a one-of-a-kind credential and our CISM training program can help you become part of that elite network since it will teach you all the knowledge and skills needed to earn the certification. Recent independent studies have also consistently ranked CISM as one of the highest paying and sought after IT certifications because it connects both IT technical knowledge with management training.

The CISM job practice also defines a global job description for the information security manager and a method to measure existing staff or compare prospective new hires, which hiring managers can use to see if you are more than capable of getting the job done right. Our CISM certification training program will teach you the necessary requirements to pass the exam via in-depth lectures, discussions, demos and much more.

 

The CISM certification is intended to provide a common body of knowledge for information security management; focuses on information risk management as the basis of information security; and includes material on issues that are on a much larger scope (such as how to govern information security) as well as those issues considered practical (such as developing and managing an information security program and incidents).

Topics Covered

Domain 1—Information Security Governance
Domain 2—Information Risk Management and Compliance
Domain 3—Information Security Program Development and Management
Domain 4—Information Security Incident Management
