Course Overview

CCISO builds your skills to lead where cybersecurity meets business strategy.

EC-Council’s CCISO Program has certified leading information security professionals around the world. A core group of high-level information security executives, the CCISO Advisory Board, contributed by forming the foundation of the program and outlining the content that would be covered by the exam, body of knowledge, and training. Some members of the Board contributed as authors, others as exam writers, others as quality assurance checks, and still others as trainers. Each segment of the program was developed with the aspiring CISO in mind and looks to transfer the knowledge of seasoned professionals to the next generation in the areas that are most critical in the development and maintenance of a successful information security program.

The CCISO program ensures participants gain not only a deep understanding of cybersecurity but also the leadership, financial, and strategic planning skills necessary to succeed in an executive role. CCISO prepares leaders to integrate AI into cybersecurity risk management, compliance, forecasting, and governance with accountability and transparency. Earning the CCISO credential demonstrates that you are equipped to align security strategies, AI security strategies with business goals, effectively manage enterprise risks, and communicate with boards and executive leadership.

CCISO v4 equips you to:

- Align cybersecurity with business objectives

- Lead AI governance, compliance, and risk strategy

- Communicate effectively with boards and executives

- Manage enterprise-wide security programs and budgets

Earning CCISO v4 proves you are ready for C-suite and board-facing security leadership.

The CCISO program is a first-of- its-kind training and certification course that aims to produce cybersecurity executives of the highest caliber and ethics. The CCISO curriculum, developed by seasoned CISOs for current and aspiring CISOs, takes an executive management viewpoint that incorporates both information security management principles and general technical knowledge.
