This intermediate Information Security Program Development and Management training prepares security engineers to develop, manage and maintain the infosec program that's necessary for supporting implementation of an information security strategy.
An information security strategy is a central component of any company's long-term success. And despite what most non-infosec team members might think, an information security strategy is much more than a .pdf that gets emailed around every few weeks. An information security program requires a trained manager, familiar with the challenges with combining the human, digital, physical and financial elements that keep an organization's information secure. A security engineer with this Information Security Program Development and Management training can lead their organization's teams in maintaining their infosec programs.
