The Certified Information Security Manager® (CISM®) certification is a unique management focused certification that has been earned by over 23,000 professionals since its introduction in 2003. Unlike other security certifications, CISM® is for the individual who manages, designs, oversees and assesses an enterprise’s information security program. CISM® defines the core competencies and international performance standards that those who have information security management responsibilities must master.

The CISM® certification covers most aspects of information security systems, including development, deployment and management.
