Predicting cybersecurity jobs will grow 31% through 2029, over seven times faster than the national average job growth of 4%. 

What does that mean for you?

  • ​Do you want to make a real difference in the way cybersecurity processes are managed?

The CISO role has become a very common term in the industry.

But like many roles the definition has become blurred because of the many hats and responsibilities required within the CISO role. 

Unfortunately, often what happens is the role becomes so reactive day in and day out that the actual effects of the role becomes diluted. There isn't time to focus on top strategies, balls get dropped, processes are not followed properly.

The only REAL CISO certification that is developed by a CISO
and covers the strategic mindset of what is needed to be a security leader.

Module 4 - Understanding the Business End of Being a CISO

The CISO is an EXECUTIVE level position that focuses on strategy across the organization. NOT an advanced technical role.

Dr. Cole covers these topics in Module 5:

- Hacking 101
- Hacking a Server
- Hacking a Client
- Breaches - Prevention and Detection
- The RIGHT Questions a CISO should be asking


Module 6 - Technology and a Solutions Roadmap
