Introduction

The CCISO Certification is an industry-leading program that recognizes the real-world experience necessary to succeed at the highest executive levels of information security. Bringing together all the components required for a C-Level position, the CCISO program combines audit management, governance, IS controls, human capital management, strategic program development, and the financial expertise vital to leading a highly successful IS program. Material in the CCISO Program assumes a high-level understanding of technical topics and doesn’t spend much time on strictly technical information, but rather on the application of technical knowledge to an information security executive’s day-to-day work. The CCISO aims to bridge the gap between the executive management knowledge that CISOs need and the technical knowledge that many aspiring CISOs have. This can be a crucial gap as a practitioner endeavour to move from mid-management to upper, executive management roles. Much of this is traditionally learned as on the job training, but the CCISO Training Program can be the key to a successful transition to the highest ranks of information security management.

The globally renowned Chief Certified Information Security Officer (CCISO) program, spearheaded by EC-Council, has truly revolutionized the capabilities of senior information security professionals worldwide. With unwavering dedication, EC Council harnessed the collective wisdom of a select group of esteemed senior information security executives within our esteemed CCISO Advisory Board. This exceptional panel of seasoned professionals meticulously crafted the program’s bedrock, delineating the comprehensive content encapsulated in the CCISO exam, the body of knowledge, and the training program. Through them invaluable expertise, EC-Council has empowered countless CISOs to excel in the realm of information security.
