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
  • A CISO-level view of transformative technologies, including artificial intelligence, augmented reality, autonomous security operations centers, dynamic deception and more
  • In-depth coverage of strategic planning

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.

Recommendations and accreditations:

  • National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE): The five C|CISO domains are mapped to the NICE Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity 
  • ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB): The C|CISO is independently accredited and designed to meet the rigorous ANAB standards
  • U.S. Department of Defense (DoD): The C|CISO certification is an approved baseline certification under DoD Directive 8570/8140
  • U.S. Armed Forces: The C|CISO certification is recognized by the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps
  • Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) Certified Training: The C|CISO course meets the standards of the United Kingdom’s GCHQ
