ISACA CISM Bootcamp Overview
This CISM Boot Camp is designed for experienced information security managers and other professionals who manage, design, oversee or assess an enterprise’s information security.
The training prepares you for the CISM examination by testing your knowledge and your ability to apply it to real-world scenarios. You will gain in-depth knowledge of security governance, risk management, security program development and management, and security incident management. The boot camp has been updated to align with the new CISM job practice areas and is designed to fully prepare you to pass the challenging CISM exam.
CISM training objectives
The CISM certification promotes international practices and validates your knowledge and experience around effective security management and consulting. The four CISM domains include:
- Security governance: To effectively address the challenges of protecting an organization’s assets, senior management must define the desired outcomes of the information security program.
- Risk management: Asset classification and valuation is an essential part of an effective risk management program — the greater the value, the greater the impact, the greater the risk.
- Information security program development and management: The purpose of this area is to implement management’s governance strategy — the “due diligence” and “due care” of protecting the corporation’s assets.
- Information security incident management: This area focuses on effectively managing unexpected (and expected) events, which may or may not be disruptive, and can be summed up in five words: identify, protect, detect, respond and recover.
