This intermediate Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control training prepares security technicians to take the CRISC exam, which is the one exam required to earn the Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control certification.
The Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control certification is usually referred to by its acronym, CRISC -- just like the organization who issues it, the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, usually only goes by its acronym, ISACA. The CRISC is one of the best ways to prove an IT professional's risk management proficiency.
If you're a security technician, there aren't many better ways to demonstrate your abilities in managing ongoing challenges of enterprise risk and designing risk-based information systems controls than the CRISC. Prepare to analyze, diagnose and forecast enterprise systemic threats and recommend countering them after this training.
For anyone who manages information systems controls training, this ISACA training can be used for CRISC exam prep, onboarding new security technicians, individual or team training plans, or as a ISACA reference resource.
