CISM Certification Series Certified Information Security Manager from ISACA

Are you already working in network security, but want to give your career a big boost? Then turn yourself into a recognized security guru by becoming a Certified Information Security Manager (CISM). You’ll put your security career into overdrive as you learn a common body of knowledge that’s accepted by security pros worldwide.

CISM certification focuses on business and risk management issues. According to Certification Magazine, it is the leading information security certification. The CISM certification process combines an exam with real-life work credit and ongoing education. It tells upper management that you’ve got what it takes to be the high-level security manager they need.

As you listen to CBT Nuggets Trainer Michael Shannon, the entire CISM process will open up for you. Michael shows you how to prepare for the exam and how to get — or substitute for — the work experience you need (both before and after the test).

Michael walks you through CISM’s 5 job-practice (domain) areas and ties them directly to the exam:
# Information Security Governance

# Information Risk Management

# Information Security Program Development

# Information Security Program Management

# Incidence Management & Response

For each domain, he gives you an overview of its goals, its relative importance on the exam and your responsibilities as a manager. Soon you’ll be on your way to CISM certification and a successful information security (INFOSEC) professional career.

CISM is vendor independent. But note that Microsoft recognizes it as an accepted security credential for Security Solutions Competency in the Microsoft Partner Program.

The CISM Certification Package contains the following videos:

# Introduction

# Information Security Governance (Part 1)

# Information Security Governance (Part 2)

# Information Security Governance (Part 3

# Information Risk Management (Part 1)
