The Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification by ISACA was uniquely designed for cyber security management. This certification ensures that global cyber security and information assurance managers are equipped to prepare their organization with security and assurance best practices throughout all reaches of the organization that interact with any data systems. The CISM is ANSI accredited and has a global position as a leader in the field of information assurance management. The CISM is intentionally limited by ISACA and the exam is only offered in certain locations, a few times per year. This exclusivity helps to protects the certification’s exclusivity.
