credential that focuses on leading information risk management within an enterprise-level
organization. Its subject domains are geared toward leadership/advanced-career professionals
who are charged with designing, implementing and assessing an organization’s information
security program.
Why is Getting a CISA Credential Important?
The CISA designation proves a professional’s ability to assess threats and vulnerabilities
in IT business processes as well as create technology controls to protect valuable
assets. While not required, CISA is a globally-recognized certification that is seen
