Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) is a globally recognized certification from ISACA designed for professionals responsible for managing and overseeing an enterprise’s information security program. CISM focuses on key areas such as risk management, governance, incident response, and security strategy development.

This certification validates the individual’s ability to align security initiatives with business goals, manage risks effectively, and establish and maintain secure systems.

CISM is particularly valuable for IT managers, security consultants, and those in leadership roles, as it emphasizes both the technical and strategic aspects of managing and improving an organization’s overall security posture.
