Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) E-learning

Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) is a globally accepted standard of achievement in enterprise security management. The course, closely aligned with ISACA best practices, demonstrates understanding of the relationship between information security programmes and business goals and objectives. It will enable you to design enterprise security architecture, deliver reliable service to customers and achieve IT compliance and governance.

About the course

It will give you the skills to manage the ongoing security and adapt technology to your organisation.
