Overview
In a world where enterprise success is increasingly dependent on information systems and information technology, the trust customers, clients, employees and other stakeholders have for an enterprise can quickly dissipate in the face of a data security breach. As the growing number of high-profile breaches demonstrates, information security failures can result in significant damage to an enterprise’s bottom line as well as its reputation.
To ensure greater alignment between organisations’ information security programs and their broader goals and objectives, more and more enterprises and government agencies expect, and even require, their information security professionals to hold the Certified Information Security Manager® (CISM®) certification.
The CISM Exam Preparation course is an intensive program to prepare individuals who are planning to sit for the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) exam. The course focuses on the key points covered in the latest edition of the CISM Review Manual and includes class lectures, group discussions/activities, exam practice and answer debrief. The course is intended for individuals with familiarity with and experience in information security management
Course Description & Learning Outcomes
The CISM Exam Preparation Course comprises seven primary sections, covering the following topics:
General Examination Information
Information Security Governance
Information risk management
Information security program development and management
Information security incident management
Exam practice/sample exam
Typically, each day of the course will cover a single CISM domain, using lecture, group activities and practice questions.
By completing this course, the following Learning Outcomes (LO) will be achieved:
LO1: Identify information security risks, threats and vulnerabilities.
