Information technology security has been among the top ten management concerns since the 1980’s. Technologies such as computer networks, PCs, the web, and more recently SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud) along with SCADA/Internet of Things, Blockchain, AI, Robotics, etc., continually bring new security considerations and challenges to organizations.

These technologies in concert with changes in regulations, especially in light of the growth of valuable and sensitive information assets stored by organizations such as individuals’ taxes, financial assets, medical records, job performance reviews, trade secrets, new product developments, and customer data, demand a strong focus on security management; the protection of data/information/knowledge. The threat of invasion by cyber criminals (e.g., governments, competitors, individuals) continues to grow.

No one can escape cyber-attacks, and the fact that it is hard to find trusted people who are expert in this new art of war has driven the demand for security professionals to an all-time high. Many companies are starting to address this issue with the new understanding that constant and ongoing vigilance is the only way to protect infrastructure and data in the long term.

The purpose of this certificate from GIIM is to help organizations meet the increased demand for information security professionals by preparing attendees via a comprehensive practical set of courses addressing the entire IT infrastructure (e.g., data, network, web, applications, systems), as well as the essential management, organizational, and legal considerations.
