The C|CISO program is the first internationally recognized certification that demonstrates your skills in both the development and execution of a (risk-based) information security management strategy that aligns with organizational goals. C|CISO provides leaders in information security with the most effective and up-to-date tools to defend organizations against cyberattacks. Since the new version 4, there has also been a lot of focus on current AI developments in areas such as audits, risk management, vendor assessment, awareness campaigns, and budgeting.

CISOs are expected more than ever to be able to combine technical knowledge and experience with the ability to translate this into business value. C|CISOs understand that their decisions regarding information security have a direct impact on, for example, the operational costs, efficiency, and flexibility of the entire organization. In a continuously changing technical environment, C|CISOs are responsible for the development and communication of a solid strategy that can identify and mitigate potential new risks for the organization.
The C|CISO training concludes with an interactive wargame/crisis simulation in which a cyber incident is simulated and the handling of it from a CISO perspective within a (fictional) organization. In the simulation, the knowledge gained in the training is brought to life in a recognizable way.
EC-Council’s C|CISO program has certified CISOs worldwide, with a core group of high-level executives, the C|CISO advisory board, contributing to the composition and updating of the program, the exam, body of knowledge, and training. Each component of the program has been developed with the incoming or existing CISO in mind and aims to transfer the knowledge of experienced professionals in the areas that are most important for developing and maintaining a successful information security policy.
C|CISO v4
The latest C|CISO version 4 includes expansions in the areas of:

In preparation for the classroom C|CISO training, you will receive the corresponding study materials by post after registration, along with one year of access to our exclusive MyTSTC learning platform. During the subsequent self-study period, you can note specific questions for the classroom training and gain knowledge in areas you have had little practical experience with. On MyTSTC, you will take an assessment test after which you will receive tailored additional preparatory videos and other study materials (if necessary based on the test). Furthermore, you will familiarize yourself in this phase with the help of a self-study module on the case that will be addressed in the concluding cyber wargame/crisis simulation.
In the training, the five C|CISO domains are covered in detail, with an emphasis on their practical application in the CISO role. Additionally, you will be specifically prepared for the corresponding scenario-based exam, which you can schedule with us at a time of your choice after the training, provided you have the necessary work experience for this. If you do not have this experience yet, it is usually possible to take the alternative Associate C|CISO exam.
After the training, you will receive further online guidance via MyTSTC, where you can also practice with test questions for the exam. Finally, we offer you the opportunity to attend the training again free of charge within a year, for example, if you fail the exam or seek additional help with it (not applicable to in-company training).
