Are you looking to take the next step in your career? If so, this is the perfect time to become a CISSP® (Certified Information Systems Security Professional).
The qualification was developed and is maintained by (ISC)2, the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium.
It’s globally recognised and vendor-neutral, making it the ideal qualification for those experienced information security professionals who want to land a role as a chief security officer, chief information security officer or senior security engineer.
IT Governance’s CISSP Blended Online Training Course provides the guidance you need to pass the CISSP exam first time.
The course combines instructor-led sessions and one-to-one mentoring with guided digital content, making it ideal for busy professionals looking to balance the demands of a busy work and home schedule.
Want to know more about why our CISSP training course is right for you? Here are five ways that it can help you enhance your cyber security career.
1. You’ll gain greater recognition and respect
The CISSP qualification is a universally recognised standard of achievement. It was the first credential in the field of information security to meet the requirements of ISO 17024, which describes best practice for certifying individuals.
The qualification remains just as respected today. Anyone who certifies will bring with them demonstrable evidence of their advanced knowledge of information security and their dedication to career progression.
2. It’s growing in popularity
As of July 2022, there are 156,054 (ISC)2 CISSPs in more than 170 countries.
This makes it the most popular information security qualification in the world, and it’s only gaining traction. In the past five years, the number of CISSPs has grown by almost 40,000.
3. You become an (ISC)2 member
You are automatically granted membership to (ISC)2 when you become a CISSP. Members receive various perks, including discounts on (ISC)2 products and services; access to industry-leading research, such as the ISC Journal and the Global Information Security Workforce Study, and a 50% discount on all (ISC)2 textbooks.
You’ll also get exclusive access to webinars and conferences, professional recognition through (ISC)2 award programmes and digital badges, which you can use to share your credentials online.
4. You need a CISSP qualification for many jobs
The growing popularity of the CISSP qualification is partly because of its status as a prerequisite for many roles.
The certificate provides proof that you have the skills and knowledge that are needed to tackle complex threats to an organisation’s IT infrastructure.
5. It can boost your salary
Meanwhile, qualified CISSPs are among the best paid in the industry, with salaries reaching as much as £82,000 a year.
The higher wages reflect the advanced skills and experience that come with certification. You are far more likely to earn more money than those in similar positions that aren’t certified, and you also have an advantage when it comes to career progression.
