IT Governance develops complete Cyber Security Training Programme

ELY, UK, August 20, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Further to the recent release of its flagship Managing Cyber Security Risk training course, IT Governance Ltd, the global cyber security services provider has announced the availability of a complete Cyber Security Training Programme.

Featuring courses at Foundation and Advanced Level, this programme is designed to deliver the knowledge required to plan and implement the effective management of cyber security in any organisation. It also ensures that delegates enhance their careers with the award of independent industry - standard qualifications from IBITGQ and APMG.

Alan Calder, Founder and Executive Chairman of IT Governance, confirms, “With the growing need for organisations to address the risks from cyber attack, the demand for qualified cyber security management professionals has increased too. It is essential that these individuals have knowledge of the best practice and compliance associated with the ISO 27001, ISO 22301 and PCI DSS standards. For managers working for larger organisations, we also recommend an understanding of IT Governance frameworks such as COBIT 5.

“To meet the demands of this new breed of cyber security professionals, we have updated many of our existing training courses with new content and ensured that all provide a practical and integrated approach to the delivery of cyber security objectives.”

Calder continues, “We have also strengthened our relationship with IBITGQ and APMG who are global suppliers of independent training certification. I am particularly pleased with the support we have received from the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications (IBITGQ). Their commitment and diligence in the further development of the required exams and certification has allowed us to bring this unique cyber security training programme to market in considerably less time than we had originally planned.”

The complete Cyber Security Training Programme consists of eight training courses which cover the key topic areas of cyber security, cyber resilience, data compliance and IT governance. These courses include the ISO 27001 Certified ISMS Lead Implementer, ISO 22301 Certified BCMS Lead Implementer, PCI Implementation and the COBIT 5 Foundation training sessions.

The further development of a senior career in cyber security is supported by a range of exam preparation courses designed to help delegates pass the highly regarded CISA, CISM and CISSP examinations at the first attempt.
