EC-Council Certified Chief Information Security Officer (C|CISO) Training Boot Camp
Meets DoD 8140 requirements
The globally renowned Certified Chief Information Security Officer program, spearheaded by EC-Council, has revolutionized the capabilities of senior information security professionals worldwide. The C|CISO program is a first-of-its-kind training and certification course that aims to produce cybersecurity executives of the highest caliber and ethics. The C|CISO curriculum — developed by seasoned CISOs for current and aspiring CISOs — takes an executive management viewpoint that incorporates both information security management principles and general technical knowledge. Through the C|CISO program, EC-Council transfers the knowledge of seasoned professionals to the next generation of leadership, focusing on the most critical competencies required to develop and maintain a successful information security portfolio.
What’s new in the C|CISO program
- Updated information on the latest security industry trends, leadership methodology and security technologies
- Increased focus on risk management frameworks, including the NIST RMF (SP 800-30/39/53), ISO 27005 and 31000, OCTAVE Allegro/Forte, COSO ERM, FAIR RM, COBIT ERM and others
- More robust contract management
- Heavier emphasis on vendor management
- Step-by-step advisement on how to build and mature a security program

Learning through war games
- CISOs need to adapt to ever-changing business needs, new regulations and compliance policies, emerging threats and rapidly changing technologies. War games are a valuable training tool for improving decision-making abilities and
building experience with handling incidents. In the C|CISO wargaming session, candidates participate in instructor-led war games that mimic what happens during a security breach.
