Since its inception 10 years ago, nearly 20,000 professionals have trained in CISM. The CISM certification is for individuals who manage, design, and oversee/assess a businesses’ information security (IS). The CISM certification is a globally recognised cert and provides executive management with assurance that those earning the designation have the required experience and skills to provide effective security management and consulting services.
