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.

Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) affirms your ability to assess risks, implement effective governance, and proactively respond to incidents. With a highlight on emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain, it guarantees your skillset meets evolving security threats and industry requirements. By addressing top-of-mind concerns like data breaches and ransomware attacks, crucial for IT professionals, this certification ensures you are staying ahead of the pace of change.

ISACA credentials are among the top 10 highest-paying in IT, and CISM is recognized as the preferred credential for IT managers.

Cyberkraft ISACA CISM Bootcamp 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

The Cyberkraft CISM Bootcamp Includes the ISACA CISM Review Manual

The CISM Review Manual 16th Edition is a comprehensive reference guide designed to help individuals prepare for the CISM exam and understand information security management roles and responsibilities. The 16th edition manual is organized to assist candidates in understanding essential concepts and studying the following domain areas:

• Information Security Governance
• Information Security Risk Management
• Information Security Program
• Incident Management

The CISM Review Manual 16th Edition offers an easy-to-navigate format. Each of the book’s chapters has been divided into two sections for focused study. Section one of each chapter contains:

• Definitions and objectives for the four areas
• Task and knowledge statements
• Self-assessment questions, answers, and explanations
• Suggested resources for further study

Section two of each chapter consists of reference material and content that support the knowledge statements. The material enhances CISM candidates’ knowledge and/or understanding when preparing for the CISM certification exam. Also included are definitions of terms most found on the exam.

The Cyberkraft CISM Bootcamp Includes the ISACA CISM Questions Answers and Explanations Database

CISM Questions, Answers & Explanations Database—12 Month Subscription is a comprehensive 1,047-question pool of items that contains the questions from the CISM Questions, Answers & Explanations Manual, 10th Edition. The database is available via ISACA PERFORM, a web-based learning platform, allowing CISM candidates to log in at home, at work or anywhere they have Internet connectivity.

Exam candidates can utilize an interactive planner to build a custom study plan, and a personalized dashboard serves as the primary method to navigate studies and track progress. Candidates will be presented with randomly selected practice question sets and be able to view the results by job practice domain, allowing for concentrated study in particular areas. Each question and answer set includes in-depth explanations for each answer choice, allowing the learner to fully understand the rationale behind each correct—and incorrect—answer choice.

Learners will have the ability to review previously answered questions, allowing CISM candidates to identify their strengths and weaknesses and focus their study efforts accordingly. Other features of the database include:

• The ability to select practice question sets by specific domain and sub-category and choose the length of study sessions, giving learners the ability to customize their approach to fit their needs
• Two full-length timed practice exams intended to mimic the blueprint and feel of an actual ISACA exam and help candidates manage their time when answering questions
• Flashcards and interactive games to help reinforce key terms and concepts
