What Is CISM Certification, and Why Does It Matter?
The Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) is the ISACA credential for professionals who manage, design, oversee and assess an enterprise’s information security. It validates expertise in security governance, risk management, program development and incident management.
ISACA does not require training or education hours. It does require five years of information security management experience, with at least three years in three of the four CISM domains, and you can take the exam before you meet it. See the full CISM requirements, waivers and substitutions.
