(ISC)² Makes Cyber Security Careers More Widely Accessible

Uploaded on 2022-09-09 in JOBS-Training, FREE TO VIEW

(ISC)² is the world’s largest non-profit association of certified cyber security professionals and has announced the introduction of a new training programme -  (ISC)² Candidates - an innovative professional development path for individuals considering a career in cyber security. 

On enrolling as an (ISC)² Candidate, participants receive career development advice, networking opportunities, tools, resources, and continuous education as they work toward earning any (ISC)² certification including the new (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity certification. (ISC)² will be their guide, partner and advocate every step of the way as they achieve their career goals.

The announcement comes on the same day that the newest certification, (ISC)² Certified in CybersecuritySM, is now operational. More than 1,500 individuals, who passed the exam during our pilot programme earlier this year, are now on their path to full certification and (ISC)² membership. 

(ISC)² is an international non-profit membership association focused on inspiring a safe and secure cyber world. Best known for the acclaimed Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP®) certification, (ISC)² offers a portfolio of credentials that are part of a holistic, pragmatic approach to security. 

Those earning the (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity certification demonstrate they have the foundational knowledge, skills and abilities to take on entry-level cyber security roles, enabling employers to more confidently build resilient teams across all experience levels.

Together, these two initiatives form a concerted effort to actively support and bring along the next generation of cyber security professionals that the industry critically needs to bring into the profession and develop. 
Interns, new graduates, entry-level colleagues, career changers or anyone interested in a new cyber security career should now consider the combination of (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity and (ISC)² Candidate as a valuable step in their career journey. “Part of our commitment to addressing the global cyber security workforce shortage is creating new pathways to cybersecurity career success,” said Clar Rosso, (ISC)² CEO. 

Whether you are pursuing your first cyber security job or looking to advance within the profession, as an (ISC)² Candidate, you will have access to the resources, benefits and professional development you need to achieve your goals. “(ISC)², backed by more than 170,000 members, will be your guide, partner and advocate as you achieve career milestones like joining a local chapter, discovering a mentor at a conference or earning your first (ISC)² certification... ” according to Rosso.

The (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity certification bridges that gap and connects employers to qualified entry-level candidates backed by the world’s largest association of certified cyber security professionals. 

(ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity is one of several impressive solutions underway at (ISC)² to reduce the cyber security workforce gap, remove barriers to entering the field and deliver a positive, long-term opportunity for individuals and employers alike.
