Why this education?
The Cyber Information Security Leader (CISL) is an education that trains cybersecurity leaders and specialists to lead organizations safely through the challenges of digitalization. Despite the high priority of cybersecurity within top management, professionals still experience barriers when it comes to cybersecurity management.
The education accommodates this need with a focus on strengthening participants’ ability to navigate executive-level managing politics, culture, and the corporate reporting game – in short, stakeholder management.
Having completed a range of other accredited certifications, I was looking for a certification in cybersecurity with a corporate focus and with emphasis on the board’s view – this is definitely it. An imperative in the corporate CISO toolbox
– Tue Jagtfelt, Senior Security Advisor, Globeteam
The program
The program is tailored for current and aspiring cybersecurity leaders, enabling them to navigate the corporate landscape. With an emphasis on personal leadership participants are equally introduced to the value of knowing how personality types, their capabilities and their behavioral structures, can benefit in crisis situations and be used strategically to create impact and drive results.
This is not a course that focuses on the technical aspects of cybersecurity – but this is also where I feel comfortable with my knowledge. This is a hands-on approach to leadership presented by industry-experienced instructors, who know what they are talking about – and that has been very inspiring
– Lars Gottschalk, Head of Analysts, TDC
