Course Description

The chief information security officer (C|CISO) training and certification program is the first of its kind and has trained top-tier information security professionals all around the world. The Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO) is concerned not only with technical expertise but also with the strategic implementation of best practices in information security management. Experienced CISOs created the program to help both existing and future information security officers.

The training for the Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO) is designed to help bridge the gap between the executive management skills that CISOs need and the technical understanding that many people who want to be CISOs already have. When a practitioner strives to advance their career from mid-management to upper or executive management roles, this can be a significant obstacle to overcome. A significant portion of this is generally acquired through on-the-job training; however, the C|CISO Training may be the most important factor in making a smooth transition to the highest ranks of information security management.

    I was sceptical at first whether to enrol with Microtek Learning or not, however, I am glad that I did- I got everything that was promised (maybe more). The trainer was very patient and knowledgeable and with his effort and mine, I was able to clear the exam with ease! Keep up the good work everyone.

    I was recommended the ITIL 4 Foundation course by an IT professional who had completed the same course at Microtek Learning. The training gave me a thorough understanding of service management that I felt I could take back to my job as an IT Project Management and apply it to improve the value of products and services.
