At Firebrand, we are proud to be an Official Training Partner (OTP) and Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Credits Partner of ISC2, the Information Systems Security Certifications Consortium.
ISC2 has over 500,000 members worldwide and is the world's leading member association for Cyber Security.
Could one of its certifications be right for you?
Here are four interesting ISC2 courses to consider in 2024.
1. ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC)
ISC2 CC is an entry-level Cyber Security certification that attests you have the foundational knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for an entry- or junior-level Cyber Security role.
Unlike other ISC2 certifications, there is no work experience requirement to earn this certification. ISC2 CC is ideal for everyone interested in a Cyber Security career, from college students and recent grads to career changers.
CC is the first step on a career-long journey that helps Cyber Security professionals work toward advanced qualifications such as ISC2 CISSP and ISC2 CCSP.
2. ISC2 CISSP-ISSEP Information Systems Security Engineering Professional
If you've taken the CISSP and want to stand out as a subject matter expert, CISSP-ISSEP can help.
Developed in conjunction with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), this security engineering certification recognizes your ability to apply engineering principles and processes to develop secure systems in all facets of business operations.
CISSP-ISSEP is ideal for:
- Senior Systems Engineers
- Information Assurance Systems Engineers
- Information Assurance Officers
- Information Assurance Analysts
- Senior Security Analysts
Before attending this accelerated course, you must be a CISSP in good standing and have two years of cumulative paid work experience in one or more of the five CISSP-ISSEP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK®) domains.
3. ISC2 CISSP-ISSMP Information Systems Security Management Professional
Similar to CISSP-ISSEP, CISSP-ISSMP helps professionals specialise in establishing, presenting, and governing information security programs and demonstrate management and leadership skills.
The CISSP-ISSMP broad Common Body of Knowledge makes this certification relevant across all disciplines in the field of information security management.
CISSP-ISSMP is ideal for:
- Chief Information Officers
- Chief Information Security Officers
- Chief Technology Officers
- Senior Security Executives
Before attending this accelerated course, you must be a CISSP in good standing and have two years of cumulative paid work experience in one or more of the six domains of the CISSP-ISSMP CBK.
4. ISC2 Healthcare Information Security & Privacy Practitioner
The healthcare industry is rapidly evolving and, with it, the need to protect increasing volumes of electronic health records. If you're working in healthcare, you won't want to miss the ISC2 HCISSPP.
HCISPP attests that you’re on the forefront of protecting patient health information and navigating a complex regulatory environment. It demonstrates you have the knowledge and ability to implement, manage and assess security and privacy controls to protect healthcare organizations using policies and procedures established by the cybersecurity experts at ISC2.
To take this certification, you must have a minimum of two years cumulative experience covering any or all of the three HCISSPP domains: Healthcare Industry, Regulatory Environment in Healthcare, and Privacy and Security in Healthcare.
This credential will be sunset by 2026, so be quick.
