Cybersecurity PECB

PECB Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

A 5 day executive level course for anyone building or leading an organization's information security program, covering everything from fundamentals through incident response, compliance, and continual improvement.

PECB Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

Overview

This course is built for people stepping into, or already holding, the Chief Information Security Officer role: leading an information security program at the strategic level rather than just managing individual controls. It covers the CISO's responsibilities and the ethical considerations that come with the role, then moves into building a security program an organization can actually run.

Over four days of training plus a fifth day for the certificate exam, you'll cover fundamentals and the CISO's role, then security compliance programs, risk management, and security architecture, then operational controls, incident management, and change management, closing with security culture, monitoring, and continual improvement. Participants receive more than 450 pages of training material and 31 CPD credits.

Two credential tiers are available. PECB Certified Information Security Officer requires only passing the exam, useful if you're building toward the role. PECB Certified Chief Information Security Officer, the full credential, additionally requires five years of professional experience, two of them in information security, plus 300 hours of documented information security project work.

Who Should Attend

Professionals actively involved in information security management, IT managers responsible for information security programs, security professionals moving into leadership roles, professionals managing information security risk and compliance, experienced CISOs looking to refresh their skills, and executives such as CIOs, CEOs, and COOs who make decisions about information security.
