Why Certified in Cyber Security?

ISC2 is the world’s largest non profit cyber security membership association, known for creating the industry’s gold standard credential, the CISSP, and other top cyber security certifications — all requiring work experience.

What makes Certified in Cyber Security (CC) so unique is that it requires no experience or formal education — only basic knowledge of information technology (IT) is recommended. In that sense, it opens opportunities in cyber security to a much broader pool of candidates, including recent graduates, career changers and IT professionals.

As the true entry point to career excellence, Certified in Cyber Security starts newcomers on their path to advanced cyber security certifications and future leadership roles. For organisations, it helps develop new talent for their teams to build a stronger line of defence. It gives them the assurance that newly certified team members understand fundamental security principles and operations, network security and access controls and that they have the skills to meet and exceed performance standards in their beginning roles.
