“Professionals
within the information security management field find
great value in the CISM credential. The CISM credential
measures expertise on the subjects of information
security governance, risk management, information
security program management, information security
management and response management. It distinguishes
you among other candidates in the information security
field, and it appropriately identifies you as having
the knowledge and expertise required to get the job
done effectively.”
