Certificate Summary

The Certified Information Security Professional (CISP)™ certification is for experienced people working in the information processing field. If you want to make a career in information security, which is a very important job these days, and you've been working in it for at least five years, then getting the CISP™ credential should be your goal. It's for professionals who make rules and plans for information security. Information security, also called InfoSec, is about keeping information safe from people who shouldn't have it. This includes all kinds of information, whether it's electronic or physical. Computers and the internet are everywhere now, which means there are more chances for people to cause harm. That's why it's important for security professionals to learn how to keep computers and information safe. This course teaches ways to create new systems for information security, how to figure out and manage security risks, and how to plan for security in a company. Governments, military, companies, banks, hospitals, and other businesses have a lot of secret information about their employees, customers, products, and money. Most of this information is stored on computers and sent over networks to other computers. Because the CISP™ certification exam is hard and requires a lot of knowledge, having the CISP™ title is really important in finding jobs. For IT professionals who want to move up in their careers, this certification can help them get into management positions.
