The Information Security Management Series is a structured progression of stackable credentials designed to provide participants with specialized knowledge and skills in various areas of information security management. By segmenting the original Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) Training Program, learners have the flexibility to acquire expertise in specific areas, earn micro-credentials for each module, and progressively stack them towards the full CISM certification.
Each module consists of lectures, practical sessions, case studies, and interactive discussions. Real-world insights are provided through engagement with industry professionals.
