Certified Information Security Manager

Describe the digital investigation or security certification that you would choose to best supplement your education and support your career plans. Why did you choose this one?

A Certified Information Security Manager is leading among others in information security today. It is an advanced certification that provides validation for individuals who demonstrate their knowledge and experience, which is a requirement in developing and management of enterprise information technology (Campbell, 2016).

What qualifications do you need to take the certification?

To qualify for the examination, the applicant must have five years of experience, which is verifiable in the infosec field. The applicant is also expected to have experience in infosec management, which should not be less than three years. The experiences should cover three or more areas in CISM content areas. The experiences should precede the application date by ten years from the date of application and five years from the date of excelling in the examination.

What is the importance of this certification to the field of computer forensics?

The certification equips the applicant with knowledge on how to conduct cyber-crimes and computer threats. The learner learns how to investigate and manage a case’s computer forensics aspects.

Would you personally take the certification? Why or why not?

The worldwide spread of computers and internet use has led to an increase in demand for digital investigators. Lawyers, private investigators, and law enforcement agents are in search of computer forensics to help investigate civil and criminal cases. It is an indication of a professional gap that I am willing to fill in.

How would this certification benefit you in your work? What IT certifications do you currently have, if any? Why did you choose these certifications?

There are various benefits of this certification in my profession. There are chances that it will increase my employment forecasts (Johnston, 2009). It will enable me to expand my knowledge and demonstrate continuous improvement. It will also increase my value in my profession. I have no IT certifications yet, but I intend to study Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE). This certification will help me improve my capability to figure out innovation cloud and on-premises resolutions.

Are there any digital investigation or security certifications you are aware of that you feel would not be beneficial to an employee’s career? Why?

There is no specific certification that I think is not worth in an employee’s career. However, I believe software technology evolves very fast, and the knowledge that a person may learn today will be of no importance in a short period of time.
