The Certified Information Security Manager® (CISM®) certification program is developed specifically for experienced information security managers and those who have information security management responsibilities. The CISM certification is for the individual who manages, designs, oversees and/or assesses an enterprise’s information security (IS). The CISM certification promotes international practices and provides executive management with assurance that those earning the designation have the required experience and knowledge to provide effective security management and consulting services. Individuals earning the CISM certification become part of an elite peer network, attaining a one-of-a-kind credential. The CISM job practice also defines a global job description for the information security manager and a method to measure existing staff or compare prospective new hires.
 The New England Chapter is offering a 2 day CISM Review Course to assist you in studying for the 2010 CISM exam to be held in December. The CISM review course is formatted to provide you a presentation for each domain, focusing on the key concepts, and then to spend time drilling you with specific questions so as to provide you practice with answering and understanding the type of questions that will be presented on the exam. The ISACA.org website will provide you the details on the CISM exam and the online registration form.
It is recommended that you have experience and knowledge in the various domain areas to register for the review course.
