Presentation
The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), or Responsable de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information (RSSI), plays a critical role in protecting an organization’s data. As the guarantor of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, the CISO defines security policies, manages risks, ensures compliance (such as GDPR), raises employee awareness, and oversees incident management. A true technical, managerial, and legal expert, the CISO is also able to communicate effectively at all levels of the organization.

You will also master the implementation of robust security measures, incident management, and security awareness training for your teams.
At the end of this course, you will be ready to take the PECB CISO certification exam, an internationally recognized credential that validates your expertise and strengthens your credibility with both peers and employers (see the Certification tab for more information).
