Master Certificate in Information Security Management – Government
When it comes to information security contracting for the federal government, certification is now a requirement. For example, the Department of Defense Directive 8570.1 mandates that anyone with privileged access to an information system must obtain a commercial information security credential. The Master Certificate in Information Security Management – Government will prepare you to meet the stringent qualifications of some of the most important government agencies, including the DoD, the National Security Agency (NSA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and others. Learn how to protect information and information systems, address specific security issues, and implement all skill areas contained in the latest CompTIA Security+™ (2008 Edition), CISSP® and SSCP® bodies of knowledge. The program also prepares you for CAP® certification, a new (ISC)²® qualification that satisfies Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requirements. The program also supports CNSS National Standard 4011, pertaining to intelligence activities, military command and control and other vital issues impacting national security.
