Course Overview

Are you an aspiring Chief Information Security Officer or Security Operations Manager or Security Architect who has been struggling with your current progression in this field and want to quickly take your career to the next level? The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is the executive responsible for an organization's information and data security. The CISO directs staff in identifying, developing, implementing, and maintaining processes across the enterprise to reduce information and information technology (IT) risks. They respond to incidents, establish appropriate standards and controls, manage security technologies, and direct the establishment and implementation of policies and procedures.

In this course, you will learn about what CISOs are and where they fit within an organization's structure, who they report to and what their responsibilities are, what skills and expertise you need to land your first role as a CISO, what challenges CISOs typically face in their role, and finally common traits that successful CISOs have. While this course will teach you how to become a CISO, it has also been designed to make you a more effective cyber security expert. This Chief Information Security Officer Master Class covers critical aspects of the CISO that will help you add immediate value to your cyber security career. Best of all, the course has been structured in an easy-to-follow format and includes course notes so you can continue your education offline.
