Tanpa tindakan pencegahan keamanan yang memadai, ada risiko kehilangan data dan pencurian data oleh peretas, gangguan bisnis karena serangan melalui web atau penyalahgunaan data. Salah satu opsi untuk pendekatan terstruktur adalah Sistem Manajemen Keamanan Informasi ISMS menurut ISO 27001. Keamanan data dan informasi yang dapat dibuktikan Keamanan informasi sebagai bagian dari budaya perusahaan Implementasi yang efektif dari proses manajemen risiko Peningkatan berkelanjutan dari tingkat keamanan Anda Apa itu ISO 27001? ISO/IEC 27001 adalah standar internasional terkemuka untuk menerapkan sistem manajemen holistik untuk keamanan informasi. Ini berfokus pada identifikasi, penilaian dan pengelolaan risiko terhadap proses penanganan informasi. Keamanan informasi rahasia ditekankan sebagai elemen strategis yang signifikan. Informasi mengelilingi kita di mana-mana dan merupakan bagian dari setiap proses. Kadang-kadang mungkin tidak penting, tetapi terlalu sering penting dan rahasia. Untuk membuat perbedaan penting ini bagi organisasi Anda, perlu untuk mengklasifikasikan informasi. Ini karena tindakan perlindungan Sistem Manajemen Keamanan Informasi ISMS menurut ISO/IEC 27001 didasarkan pada klasifikasi Sistem Manajemen Keamanan Informasi menciptakan kerangka kerja untuk melindungi data operasional dan kerahasiaannya. Pada saat yang sama, standar yang diakui secara global memastikan ketersediaan sistem TI yang terlibat dalam proses perusahaan. Dalam konteks ini, sertifikasi ISO 27001 mengirimkan sinyal yang kuat ke pasar yaitu, evaluasi eksternal independen dan konfirmasi keefektifan SMKI kedua ISO / IEC 27001 dimulai pada tahun 2013. Sekarang, standar yang diakui secara internasional untuk ISMS telah diperbarui dan diterbitkan ulang dalam edisi ketiganya sebagai ISO/IEC 270012022 pada 25 Oktober 2022. Revisi ini merupakan konsekuensi yang tak terhindarkan setelah ISO / IEC 27002, sebagai panduan pelaksanaan yang mengatur Lampiran A ISO 27001, direvisi dan diterbitkan secara komprehensif pada Februari transisi untuk sertifikat ISO 27001 yang ada adalah tiga tahun sejak hari terakhir bulan publikasi ISO / IEC 27001 2022 yang baru, yang berarti bahwa semua sertifikat sesuai dengan ISO / IEC 27001 2013 harus telah dikonversi ke versi 2022 ISO 27001 pada tanggal 31 Oktober 2025, Anda dapat membaca tentang fitur-fitur baru dari pembaruan ISO 27001 di artikel kami "ISO / IEC 27001 2022 yang baru - perubahan utama". Lebih lanjut Lebih ringkas Sertifikasi ISO 27001 cocok untuk siapa? Standar ISMS ISO 27001 berlaku di seluruh dunia. Ini memberi perusahaan dari semua ukuran dan industri dengan kerangka kerja untuk perencanaan, penerapan, dan pemantauan keamanan informasi mereka. Persyaratan ini berlaku dan berlaku untuk perusahaan swasta dan publik serta organisasi nirlaba. Di Jerman, misalnya, perusahaan yang termasuk dalam Sektor Infrastruktur Kritis/Critical Infrastructure Sector KRITIS dan melebihi ambang batas harus memberikan bukti bagaimana mereka memastikan keamanan informasi mereka. Sektor KRITIS meliputi energi, air, kesehatan, keuangan dan asuransi, makanan, transportasi dan lalu lintas, teknologi informasi dan telekomunikasi. Bukti implementasi yang sesuai dapat diberikan melalui audit keamanan, pengujian atau sertifikasi. Untuk tujuan ini, standar yang diakui seperti ISO 27001 atau, sebagai alternatif, standar keamanan khusus industri yang diakui oleh Kantor Federal Jerman untuk Keamanan Informasi BSI dapat digunakan sebagai dasar untuk mengaudit. Lebih lanjut Lebih ringkas Apa yang membuat standar ISO 27001 berguna bagi perusahaan saya? Pengenalan SMKI menurut ISO/IEC 27001 adalah keputusan strategis untuk perusahaan Anda. Pemenuhan persyaratan umum standar yang sengaja harus mencerminkan situasi spesifik perusahaan. Implementasi di perusahaan Anda tergantung pada kebutuhan dan tujuan, persyaratan keamanan dan proses organisasi, serta ukuran dan struktur perusahaan. Lampiran A ISO 27001, yang akan digunakan sehubungan dengan bagian berdasarkan analisis risiko khusus perusahaan, sangat berharga dalam praktiknya. Kontrol keamanan informasi yang tercantum dalam Lampiran A secara langsung berasal dari dan diselaraskan dengan langkah-langkah yang tercantum dalam ISO 27002 saat ini, Bagian 5 hingga Lampiran A ISO / IEC 27001 2013 mencakup total 114 kontrol untuk mengatasi risiko keamanan informasi, dibagi lagi menjadi 14 bagian dan 35 tujuan kontrol. Dalam ISO / IEC 27001 2022-10 yang baru, Lampiran A sekarang berisi 93 kontrol pada aspek keamanan yang relevan, yang dikelompokkan ke 4 area proses perusahaan yang konsisten dengan ISO 27001 telah terbukti menghasilkan sejumlah manfaatPeningkatan berkelanjutan dari tingkat keamananPengurangan risiko yang adaKepatuhan terhadap persyaratan Kesadaran yang lebih besar di antara karyawanMeningkatkan kepuasan pelangganAudit internal dan tinjauan manajemen dengan partisipasi manajemen puncak adalah pengungkit internal untuk mencapai hal positif lainnya adalah bahwa pihak yang berkepentingan seperti otoritas pengawas, perusahaan asuransi, bank, perusahaan mitra membangun tingkat kepercayaan yang lebih tinggi terhadap perusahaan Anda. Ini karena sistem manajemen bersertifikat memberi sinyal bahwa organisasi Anda menangani risiko dengan cara yang terstruktur dan menganut continuous improvement CIP, sehingga lebih tahan terhadap pengaruh yang tidak internasional ISO/IEC 27001 juga dapat diterapkan, dioperasikan, dan disertifikasi secara independen dari sistem manajemen lain seperti ISO 9001 manajemen mutu atau ISO 14001 manajemen lingkungan. Lebih lanjut Lebih ringkas Siapa yang diperlukan melakukan sertifikasi berdasarkan ISO 27001? Untuk mensertifikasi sistem manajemen keamanan informasi, lembaga sertifikasi itu sendiri harus diakreditasi pada ISO/IEC 17021 dan ISO/IEC 27006. ISO/IEC 17021 mengatur topik yang terkait dengan penilaian kesesuaian, khususnya persyaratan untuk lembaga inspeksi yang mengaudit dan mensertifikasi sistem manajemen. Selain itu, ISO/IEC 27006 mendefinisikan persyaratan ketat yang harus dipatuhi oleh lembaga sertifikasi untuk mensertifikasi SMKI menurut ISO termasukBukti upaya audit tertentuPersyaratan untuk kualifikasi diakreditasi oleh badan akreditasi nasional Jerman DakkS Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH dan oleh karena itu berwenang untuk melakukan audit dan sertifikasi sesuai dengan ISO dari industri tempat perusahaan Anda beroperasi, Anda dapat mengandalkan keahlian khusus dari auditor DQS. Mereka memiliki pengalaman bertahun-tahun dalam penilaian sistem manajemen keamanan informasi di berbagai industri. Lebih lanjut Lebih ringkas Bagaimana cara kerja sertifikasi ISO 27001? Setelah semua persyaratan ISO 27001 telah diterapkan, Anda dapat memiliki sistem manajemen yang disertifikasi. Anda akan melalui proses sertifikasi multi-tahap di DQS. Jika sistem manajemen bersertifikat sudah ada di perusahaan, prosesnya bisa langkah pertama, Anda mendiskusikan perusahaan Anda dan tujuan sertifikasi ISO 27001 dengan kami. Atas dasar ini, Anda akan menerima penawaran terperinci yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan individu perusahaan Anda. Rapat perencanaan proyek dapat berguna untuk proyek yang lebih besar, misalnya, untuk mengoordinasikan jadwal dan kinerja audit dengan lebih baik dengan beberapa lokasi atau divisi. Pra-audit memberi Anda peluang untuk mengidentifikasi kekuatan dan potensi peningkatan sistem manajemen Anda terlebih dahulu. Kedua layanan ini opsional. Audit sertifikasi dimulai dengan analisis sistem dan evaluasi SMKI Anda audit tahap 1. Di sini, auditor Anda menentukan apakah sistem manajemen Anda cukup berkembang dan siap untuk sertifikasi. Pada langkah berikutnya audit sistem tahap 2, auditor Anda menilai efektivitas semua proses manajemen di lokasi, dengan menerapkan standar ISO 27001. Hasil audit dipresentasikan pada rapat akhir. Jika perlu, rencana aksi disepakati. Setelah audit sertifikasi, hasilnya dievaluasi oleh dewan sertifikasi independen DQS. Jika semua persyaratan standar terpenuhi, Anda akan menerima sertifikat ISO 27001. Setelah sertifikasi berhasil, komponen kunci SMKI Anda diaudit ulang di lokasi setidaknya setahun sekali untuk memastikan peningkatan berkelanjutan. Sertifikat ISO 27001 berlaku maksimal tiga tahun. Sertifikasi ulang dilakukan tepat waktu sebelum berakhir untuk memastikan kepatuhan berkelanjutan dengan persyaratan standar yang berlaku. Setelah kepatuhan, sertifikat baru dikeluarkan. Berapa biaya sertifikasi ISO 27001? Empat kriteria penilaian Meskipun audit ISO 27001 harus dilakukan sesuai dengan spesifikasi terstruktur, biayanya tergantung pada berbagai faktor, seperti kompleksitas organisasi Anda. Oleh karena itu, tidak ada penawaran satu ukuran untuk semua untuk perusahaan tertentu. Biaya sertifikasi menurut ISO 27001 ditetapkan berdasarkan empat kriteria berikut, antara lain1. Kompleksitas sistem manajemen keamanan informasi kritis misalnya paten, data pribadi, fasilitas, proses perusahaan Anda diperhitungkan. Biaya sertifikasi terutama didasarkan pada persyaratan keamanan informasi dan sejauh mana kerahasiaan, integritas, dan ketersediaan VIV informasi Bisnis inti perusahaan Anda dalam lingkup SMKIPada titik ini, risiko yang terkait dengan proses bisnis Anda khususnya memainkan peran penting dalam menentukan upaya audit yang diperlukan. Persyaratan hukum diperhitungkan serta persyaratan pelanggan individu yang Teknologi dan komponen utama yang digunakan dalam SMKI AndaSelama audit, teknologi serta komponen individual SMKI Anda diperiksa. Ini termasuk platform TI, server, database, aplikasi serta segmen jaringan. Aturan dasarnya di sini adalah Semakin tinggi proporsi sistem standar dan semakin rendah kompleksitas TI Anda, semakin rendah upayanya. Biaya sertifikasi ISO 27001 juga tergantung pada Proporsi pengembangan internal di SMKI AndaJika tidak ada pengembangan internal dan Anda terutama menggunakan platform perangkat lunak standar, upaya penilaian lebih rendah.

Generally, they serve two main purposes. The first is to train entry-level workers to use specific tools and technologies. The second reason is that professional certifications provide a way for more seasoned IT and computer networking professions to verify and show mastery of skills. Like other computer science and information technology fields, professional certifications play a large role in cybersecurity employment and career advancement. In this guide Professional certifications Professional prerequisites Cybersecurity organizations Academic certifications Academic prerequisites List of schools What’s the difference between cybersecurity certification programs? Today’s cybersecurity certification programs can be broken down into two main categories Professional cybersecurity certification programs and academic cybersecurity certification programs. Here’s how the two programs differ Professional cybersecurity certifications are designed for people already working in the cybersecurity field or closely-related IT and networking fields to get trained on some of the latest tools and software to detect, prevent, and combat against cybersecurity issues. These certifications are used to show proficiency with specific technologies. CompTIA Security Plus is one example of a professional certificate that is a common entry-level professional cybersecurity certificate.it is required for hiring by Department of Defense JUMP TO THE PROFESSIONAL CYBERSECURITY CERTIFICATIONS Academic cybersecurity certifications are designed to provide students with a deep background into some of the current issues in the cybersecurity field. Examples of academic certification programs include Harvard’s online cybersecurity certification or the University of Maryland online undergraduate certification in cybersecurity. These courses generally pair with other coursework and certification programs to provide students with the necessary skills and experience to get started in the growing cybersecurity industry. JUMP TO THE ACADEMIC CYBERSECURITY CERTIFICATIONS Cybersecurity certification programs for professionals One defining characteristic of the cybersecurity field is that there are a number of certifications that qualify working professionals in specific skills. Many job postings and career positions in cybersecurity require some level of certification, so it’s a good idea to pay attention to what kinds of certifications are in demand depending on a career track or job type. A professional certification can also be a great way to land that first job within the cybersecurity field. “So they are hiring my students even before they finish their degree. As long as they have some of the classes and some background in it, they really don’t need any hands-on experience. They do have to get a CompTIA Security Plus certification. Now that’s a DOD [Department of Defense] requirement. But they are taking my students even before they finish,” said Ken Dewey, the director of the cybersecurity program at Rose State College in a recent expert interview with Cybersecurity Guide. Some companies use certain data structures or network products and so they might require that their professional cybersecurity staff be certified. Examples of popular professional certifications include Certified Ethical Hacker CEH* GIAC Security Essentials* Certified Information Security Manager CISM Comp TIA Security + Certified Information Systems Security Professional CISSP * These courses are considered foundational and might provide a good starting point for people just getting started in the cybersecurity field. It is important to note that many cybersecurity certifications, even the ones considered foundational, sometimes require a combination of verifiable university coursework or a number of years of work experience. Sometimes certifying bodies might require both. Additionally, some certifications will charge fees to determine eligibility. Increasingly, associate’s and bachelor’s cybersecurity programs are offering professional certification preparation as part of the course load. For example, Hossein Sarrafzadeh, a professor of cybersecurity and department chair of the cybersecurity department at Saint Bonaventure University said during a recent expert interview with Cybersecurity Guide, “We’ve embedded a lot of industry certification materials into our curriculum…Students are encouraged to pursue industry certification, and get industry certified while doing their academic work.” Prerequisites for cybersecurity certifications Regarding certifications, a prerequisite is something that is required of an individual before they are permitted to take a specific certification exam. Prerequisites will vary depending on the certification. Examples of prerequisites include requiring professionals to have a certain number of years’ experience or perhaps another certification that must be completed prior to the one they are trying to take. Another common prerequisite found in certifications is that the professional must take a specific course before being allowed to complete the certification exam. One example of a certification that has a prerequisite is the Certified Information Systems Security Professional CISSP. Individuals wanting to become CISSP certified will be required to have at least five years of paid, full-time experience in at least two of the eight ISC2 domains or four years paid, full-time experience in at least two of the eight ISC2 domains and a college degree. Another exam that has prerequisites is the Certified Ethical Hacker CEH. In order to take the CEH, individuals should first complete a formal CEH training course offered by EC-Council. Without formal training, those hoping to take the CEH exam must have at least two years’ experience in an information security-related field and an educational background in information security. They must also pay a nonrefundable eligibility fee and submit an exam eligibility form. It’s important to note that there is a difference between a prerequisite and a certifications have recommendations for the order in which the certifications should be obtained. For example, CompTIA recommends that professionals take the CompTIA A+ and CompTIA Network+ before taking the CompTIA Security+, however, they do not require it. Therefore, if a professional felt confident in their abilities to pass the CompTIA Security+ without first taking the others, CompTIA would allow them to do so. Major cybersecurity certification organizations While it might seem like there are countless cybersecurity certifications there are certain programs and credentials that are better recognized and respected than others. This doesn’t mean that there is no reason to get the less recognized certifications. Some organizations will require their employees to become certified in something that may not be as well known as other certifications. However, for professionals that are new to the field and just looking to obtain certifications that will be easily acknowledged by any company, it’s best to pursue the certifications offered by major organizations. Here are some organizations that offer certifications which are well known and highly respected in the cybersecurity space ISC2 – The International Information System Security Certification Consortium EC-Council CompTIA GIAC – Global Information Assurance Certification ISACA ISC2 The major organizations listed in the previous section all provide numerous certification options. It’s beneficial as a cybersecurity professional to understand each of these organizations and the certifications that they offer. The International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, more commonly known as ISC2, is the organization behind the sought after CISSP certification. The ISC2 boasts itself on their website as “The World’s Leading Cybersecurity Professional Organization”. ISC2 is a non-profit with more than 140,000 certified members. Although ISC2 is most well known for the CISSP, they do offer other certifications as well. Here is a brief description of some of the certifications which can be obtained through ISC2 CISSP – Certified Information Systems Security Professional One of the most sought after and most esteemed certifications in the cybersecurity world, the CISSP should be on the list of anyone hoping to be successful in the industry. The CISSP is not a beginner certification, but rather for those who are already experienced, high achieving cybersecurity professionals. The CISSP can help individuals already working in the field progress their careers. As a prerequisite for the CISSP, candidates must have a minimum of five years of cumulative, paid, full-time experience. That experience must cover at least two of the eight domains of the CISSP Common Body of Knowledge CBK. Individuals with a degree may be granted a one-year experience exemption bringing the required experience down to four years. Read more about the CISSP certification. LOOKING FOR MORE INFO ABOUT THE CISSP CERTIFICATION INCLUDING EXAM PREP AND CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS? SEE OUR COMPLETE CISSP GUIDE. SSCP – Systems Security Certified Practitioner Professionals lacking five years’ experience shouldn’t count themselves out from obtaining an ISC2 certification just yet. The SSCP is a great certification for professionals looking to bring growth to their careers. Unlike the CISSP, the SSCP only requires a minimum of one-year working experience in one or more of the seven domains of the SSCP Common Body of Knowledge CBK. For professionals with a bachelor’s or master’s degree, that one year experience may be waived. Working to obtain the SSCP certification from ISC2 is ideal for professionals in any of the following positions network security administrator, systems administrator, security analyst, and security administrator. Read more about the SSCP certification on the ISC2 website. CCSP – Certified Cloud Security Professional Another ISC2 certification worth mentioning is the CCSP. The CCSP is a globally recognized certification that allows professionals the ability to showcase their skills in designing, managing, and securing data, applications, and infrastructure hosted in the cloud. As more and more organizations move their entire infrastructure to the cloud, the need for qualified cloud security professionals continues to grow. Much like the CISSP, the CCSP is not a certification for those just beginning their career, but rather for those who have already established a firm foundation within the field. Prerequisites for the CCSP include five or more years in a paid full-time information technology role. It also requires at least three of those years be in information security and one year must be in one or more of the six domains of the CCSP Common Body of Knowledge CBK. Earning the CISSP certification can be substituted for all of the other experience requirements. More information regarding the CCSP can be found on the ISC2 website. Other ISC2 certifications include CAP, CSSLP, HCISPP, CISSP-ISSAP, CISSP-ISSMP, Associate of ISC2. EC-Council EC-Council is most well known for the Certified Ethical Hacker certification, which is more commonly known as the CEH. EC-Council, does, however, offer many other certifications besides the CEH. Rather than focusing on specific areas of knowledge, EC-Council markets more towards specific roles and titles. For example, when a professional looks at the certification programs on EC-Council’s website, they would see that the certifications look more like job titles Licensed Penetration Tester, Certified Ethical Hacker, Security Analyst, Certified Chief Information Security Officer, and the list goes on. This can make it easy for those interested in a specific job to focus in on which certification they’d like to pursue. On the other hand, these certifications may be too specialized for individuals looking to cover a wide range of security skills. Here is a brief description of a few of the certifications which can be obtained with EC-Council CEH – Certified Ethical Hacker This is by far the most well known of the EC-Council certifications. The CEH is widely recognized among security professionals. While the certification may include the word hacker in its title, it’s not just for those who work in offensive security. Anyone working within cybersecurity, whether offensive or defensive, can benefit from the CEH certification. EC-Council offers two main options for eligibility. First, individuals wishing to take the CEH exam can attend an official EC-Council CEH training. Attending an official training at an Accredited Training Center, via EC-Council’s iClass platform, or at an approved academic institution will make students eligible to take the CEH exam without any further eligibility application process. For those that wish to take the exam without going through official training, option two allows for professionals with at least two years of information security related experience to pay a nonrefundable eligibility application fee. After their application is approved, they may then take the exam. Read more about the Certified Ethical Hacker certification. LOOKING TO BECOME A CERTIFIED ETHICAL HACKER? CHECK OUT OUR CEH PREP GUIDE INCLUDING EXAM INFO AND CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. ECSA – EC-Council Certified Security Analyst For those looking to pursue a career in penetration testing, the ECSA is often a good fit. While the CEH focuses on many different aspects of cybersecurity and offensive security, the ECSA focuses more on penetration testing. Penetration testing is a profession in which engineers attempt to offensively breach legally and with permission a target network or system. The prerequisites for the ECSA are similar to those of the CEH. Individuals can choose to take an official EC-Council ECSA training course making them immediately eligible for the exam or they can possess a minimum of two years’ experience in the cybersecurity field and go through the eligibility application process. To read more about the ECSA certification, visit the EC-Council. LPT – Licensed Penetration Tester Professionals looking to become a penetration tester or progress their career as a penetration tester may choose to continue onto the Licensed Penetration Tester certification after obtaining either the CEH, ECSA, or both. EC-Council’s website describes the Licensed Penetration Tester certification as their most challenging practical exam available. In order to pass the LPT exam, professionals must complete and document the entire process of a penetration test from start to finish. The penetration test completed must be in the format which is taught during the ECSA program. While there are no pre-defined prerequisites for the LPT, EC-Council suggests that this exam should be taken after completing the CEH and ECSA certifications as it builds off the knowledge learned and used during those exams. Learn more about the LPT certification here Other certifications offered by EC-Council include but are not limited to CSCU, ECSS, EDRP, CHFI, CND. CompTIA CompTIA certifications are some of the most highly recognized IT certifications available. CompTIA provides certifications in many different IT fields such as software development, computer networking, cloud computing, and of course, information security. CompTIA has four major “core” certifications which include CompTIA IT Fundamentals, CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, and CompTIA Security+. While it may seem that three of the four certifications listed are not security-related, these certifications are used to lay the groundwork that the information security certifications will build from. CompTIA Security+ The CompTIA Security+ is a great starting point for anyone looking to pursue a career in cybersecurity. The topics displayed within this certification provide broad coverage of general cybersecurity. The Security+ exam will cover items such as threats and attacks, architecture and design, risk management, and even cryptography. While there are no specific prerequisites for taking the Security+ exam, CompTIA recommends that professionals have their CompTIA Network+ certification and two years’ experience in IT administration with a focus on security. Check out the complete CompTIA Security Guide. CompTIA CySA+ The CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst, more commonly known as the CySA+, is a more advanced cybersecurity certification than the Security+. The CySA+ takes a deeper dive into topics such as threat management, vulnerability management, cyber incident response, and security architecture and toolsets. The recommended experience for the CySA+ is holding a Network+ certification, a Security+ certification or having equivalent knowledge and having a minimum of four years of hands-on information security or related experience. Read more about the CySA+ certification. Other CompTIA certifications include but are not limited to CASP+, PenTest+,Linux+, Cloud+ GIAC The Global Information Assurance Certification is an organization founded in 1999 to validate the skills of information security professionals. GIAC certifications are trusted by thousands of companies and government agencies, including the United States National Security Agency NSA. GIAC certifications are based on SANS training. GIAC offers many different certifications in categories such as cyber defense, penetration testing, incident response, and forensics as well as a few others. Here are brief descriptions of a few GIAC certifications GSEC – GIAC Security Essentials GSEC is one of the more entry-level certifications offered by GIAC. It certifies a practitioner’s knowledge of information security goes beyond simply knowing terminology and concepts. The goal of the GSEC is to validate an individual’s hands-on knowledge. There are no listed prerequisites for the GSEC, but those wishing to take the exam should have a working knowledge of IT security and networking. To find out more about the GSEC certification. GMOB – GIAC Mobile Device Security Analyst GMOB is one of the more interesting certifications offered by GIAC because it allows professionals to show their abilities as they relate to mobile device security. Mobile devices are a major part of both our personal and professional lives. It is important to have well-qualified individuals to protect these devices that connect us together. The GMOB certification validates that the holders of the certification have demonstrated knowledge with regards to assessing and managing mobile device and application security. Read more about the GMOB certification. GCFA – GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst Professionals interested in pursuing a forensic analyst career would certainly benefit from obtaining the GCFA certification. The GCFA is a widely recognized forensic analyst certification that covers a wide range of forensic topics such as advanced incident response and digital forensics, memory forensics, timeline analysis, anti-forensics detection, threat hunting, and APT intrusion incident response. More information can be found regarding the GCFA certification. Other GIAC certifications include but are not limited to GCIH, GPEN, GCIA, GCFE, GNFA ISACA Previously known as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, ISACA now goes by its acronym only. According to their website, ISACA was incorporated in 1969 by a small group of individuals who recognized a need for a centralized source of information and guidance in the growing field of auditing controls for computer systems. Since then, thousands of IT professionals have gone on to obtain ISACA certifications. Here are brief descriptions of a couple of ISACA certifications CISA – Certified Information Systems Auditor The CISA certification is a widely recognized certification that covers information security audit control, assurance and security. Holding a CISA certification proves that a professional is capable and knowledgeable enough to assess vulnerabilities, report on compliance issues, and institute security controls within an organization. Read more about the CISA certification. CONSIDERING THE CISA EXAM? CHECK OUT OUR COMPLETE CISA CERTIFICATION PREP GUIDE. CISM – Certified Information Security Manager A step above the CISA is the certified information security manager CISM. This certification is designed for those who would like to demonstrate their knowledge of information security management. According to the ISACA website, independent studies rank the CISM as one of the highest paying and sought-after IT certifications. As this is a management-focused certification, those looking to obtain it should have hands-on experience managing, designing, and overseeing an enterprise’s information security program. CHECK OUT OUR COMPLETE CISM CERTIFICATION GUIDE. Other ISACA certifications include CGEIT, CRISC. Deciding which certification to pursue With such a long list of certifications that exist, it can often be difficult to determine which one is the best to choose. This becomes especially difficult when two certifications seem very similar to each other. For example, EC-Council offers multiple certifications for those looking to start a career as a penetration tester ECSA and LPT, but CompTIA and GIAC both also offer penetration testing certifications as well PenTest+ and GPEN. Unfortunately, in these scenarios, there is no definitive answer to which certification is better to pursue. If a professional has a company in mind that they would like to work for, it could be beneficial to see if that organization’s job descriptions list one certification over another. Aside from that, the best option is to simply research all of the organizations which offer the certifications and decide which one is the best fit. It also doesn’t hurt to pursue multiple certifications. If an individual held the ECSA, LPT, PenTest+ and GPEN certifications all at the same time, this would only help to show that they have the knowledge needed to a penetration tester. Cybersecurity certification programs for students Academic cybersecurity certification programs There are a few main differences between academic cybersecurity certification programs and other kinds of academic training like cybersecurity bachelor’s or cybersecurity master’s degrees. Certifications take less time to complete — sometimes they might be courses that last several weeks to a year or more. They also don’t require as many prerequisites like traditional undergraduate courses like SAT or ACT scores, for example. Academic cybersecurity certification programs are great options for students that might have already completed a degree in a related field and are looking to make a career switch, or for students that want to explore what preparing for a cybersecurity career might be like before committing to a lengthier academic program. Below are two examples of different kinds of cybersecurity programs Havard’s Cybersecurity Managing Risk in the Information Age is a great example of an academic short course designed to help launch careers in the cybersecurity field. The course is divided into eight modules over eight weeks the course description says that students are expected to dedicate roughly 10 hours weekly to the course. The goal of Harvard’s online cybersecurity certification is to guide students through the process of understanding different kinds of cybersecurity threats, how those threats present risks to businesses, and what steps companies and organizations can take to prevent cybersecurity threats and attacks. Additionally, the certification teaches students to learn about cybersecurity compliance and walks through when and how cybercrimes need to be reported to law enforcement authorities. The course outline, according to the eight modules looks like this Cybersecurity as a business risk Identifying threats Identifying important systems and assets Leadership in managing cyber risk Understanding your technology Cyber risk and the law Incident response Designing and implementing a mitigation strategy The course culminates in a certification from Harvard University’s Office of the Provost for Advances in Learning. Another example is the University of Maryland’s Cybersecurity Certificate which offers comprehensive programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Both levels require between 15 and 18 credit hours and are designed to be completed in a year. The undergraduate program is designed to help prepare students that have an undergraduate degree in another discipline to gain experience in computer networking prepare to take the necessary cybersecurity professional certification exams and be prepared to launch a career. The program does not require additional test scores such as the SAT or GRE, and transferring previous academic credit applicable to the program’s requirements is allowed. The University of Maryland’s online cybersecurity certification has two tracks at the graduate level. Depending on background and career interest, students can choose between cybersecurity management and policy or cybersecurity technology and information assurance. Both the undergraduate and graduate online cybersecurity certificate courses are eligible for scholarship and financial aid opportunities. Academic cybersecurity certification program requirements The coursework required to complete an academic cybersecurity undergraduate degree varies widely from school to school — and depending on the level of certification post-baccalaureate vs postgraduate for example. As a general rule, most academic certification programs require around 15 credit hours, which is equivalent to one semester of full-time study. The key thing to keep in mind is that academic cybersecurity certification programs are intentionally designed to help students with a relevant background computer science, mathematics, engineering, or relevant work experience get specific training and expertise in cybersecurity topics. Essentially, the goal of these certification programs is to bridge the gap between previous experience and the requirements of the cybersecurity workforce. Here’s one example of a cybersecurity certification program offered by Penn State and designed for prospective students with an undergraduate degree in a related field. Penn State’s program, which is called Information Systems Cybersecurity Certificate for Professionals is designed to help participants Get up to speed on foundational cybersecurity technologies, processes, and systems. How to build and maintain information and data systems. How to take an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the security of modern information systems. Conduct penetration testing to understand vulnerabilities in cybersecurity infrastructure. A couple of other factors and these are particular to Penn State’s program but offer an idea of some of the things to be on the lookout for when investigating related offerings The credits earned during the post-baccalaureate cybersecurity certification can later be applied toward one of several master’s degrees in cybersecurity offered by Penn State. In addition, Penn State has been recognized by the Department of Homeland Security as a National Center for Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense. A listing of academic cybersecurity certification programs This listing is compiled with the latest available information about academic programs that offer academic cybersecurity certification programs. This listing is not a ranking system by any means. Instead, it was created to help prospective cybersecurity certification students compare and contrast some basic information about the programs available. Many prospective students report that cost, program availability, and online versus campus options as the main points of interest when making comparisons between programs.

ISO 27001 adalah standar internasional yang menyediakan kerangka kerja/framework untuk menerapkan sistem manajemen keamanan informasi atau Information Security Management System ISMS. Framework ISO merupakan kombinasi dari kebijakan dan proses yang digunakan oleh perusahaan atau organisasi. Standar ini menyediakan framework untuk membantu perusahaan/organisasi dari berbagai industri untuk melindungi informasi data dengan cara yang sistematis dan biaya yang efektif melalui penerapan Information Security Management System ISMS. Lebih Detail Tentang ISO 27001 ISO 27001 merupakan bagian dari serangkaian standar yang dikembangkan untuk menangani keamanan informasi. Standar tersebut juga disusun agar kompatibel dengan standar sistem manajemen lainnya. Tujuannya yaitu untuk memberikan kerahasiaan, integritas, dan ketersediaan informasi yang berkelanjutan serta berlandaskan hukum. Sertifikasi ISO 27001 sangat penting untuk melindungi aset perusahaan seperti informasi karyawan, klien, brand image, dan informasi penting lain yang bersangkutan. Standar ISO mencakup pendekatan berbasis proses untuk memulai, menerapkan, mengoperasikan dan memelihara ISMS perusahaan.

Implementasi dari standar internasional yang diakui pada perusahaan bisa menjadikan perusahaan jauh lebih aman dan bisa memberikan respon ideal terhadap pelanggan yang berlandaskan hukum dari potensi ancaman keamanan seperti cyber crime, pelanggaran data pribadi, penyalahgunaan data, pencurian data, dan serangan virus. Pada tahun 2020, survey dari ISO menunjukkan bahwa sertifikasi ISO 27001 telah mengalami peningkatkan hingga 24,7%. Itu berarti semakin banyak perusahaan/organisasi yang mulai peduli dan mengerti akan pentingnya keamanan informasi data. Perusahaan dapat mengikuti sertifikasi ini dengan mengundang lembaga sertifikasi terakreditasi untuk melakukan audit dan jika audit berhasil, maka lembaga akan menerbitkan sertifikat tersebut pada perusahaan. Sertifikat ini berarti bahwa perusahaan sepenuhnya mematuhi standar internasional yang belaku. Sertifikat berakreditasi pada perusahaan/organisasi ini menunjukkan bahwa perusahaan Anda berdedikasi dalam mengikuti praktik keamanan informasi data. Ketika perusahaan Anda menampilkan sertifikat tersebut, pelanggan akan mengetahui bahwa bisnis tersebut memiliki kebijakan untuk melindungi informasi pelanggan dari ancaman keamanan saat ini.

Menghindari denda yang besar ISO 27001 adalah tolak ukur global yang diterima oleh manajemen aset informasi. Hal-hal ini memungkinkan organisasi dapat menghindari hukuman/denda yang tinggi terkait ketidakpatuhan terhadap persyaratan perlindungan data dan kerugian finansial akibat pelanggaran data. 3. Meraih keunggulan kompetitif Jika perusahaan Anda mendapatkan ISO 27001, sedangkan kompetitor Anda tidak memilikinya, hal ini otomatis menempatkan perusahaan Anda dalam posisi terdepan di mata pelanggan. Pelanggan yang yang sangat sensitif dengan keamanan data tentu akan lebih memilih perusahaan yang sudah bersertifikat. 4. Biaya yang lebih efektif Filosofi utama ISO 27001 adalah untuk mencegah terjadinya kejahatan keamanan informasi data. Setiap kejahatan yang terjadi baik kecil maupun besar tentunya akan membutuhkan biaya. Oleh karena itu, investasi dalam sertifikasi Standar ini memungkinkan perusahaan Anda mencegah adanya kejahatan keamanan informasi data kedepannya. 5. Melindungi reputasi perusahaan Meningkatnya kejahatan dunia maya di seluruh dunia bisa berdampak besar bagi perusahaan/organisasi Anda.

Qiscus hadir untuk membantu bisnis Anda meningkatkan performanya dengan aman. Ketahui lebih lanjut tentang Qiscus dan produk-produk Qiscus yang dapat membantu bisnis Anda melalui tautan ini Caro leitor a, Neste artigo irei abordar um tema muito importante que são as certificações na área de Segurança da Informação. Pelo que se observa no mercado de TI, profissionais de segurança da informação tal como também em outras áreas que possuem certificações tendem a ter mais oportunidades e salários mais elevados. Portanto, conhecer quais certificações em segurança da informação estão em alta pode te ajudar a tomar uma decisão de qual caminho seguir. Vamos ao que interessa… Abaixo seguem as melhores certificações de segurança da informação atualmente no mercado de TI. 1 – OSCP Offensive Security Professional – Try harder! Certamente essa certificação pode “separar os fracos dos fortes”, devido ao seu alto grau de dificuldade e habilidade requerida. Tudo começou em 2006 com o primeiro lançamento do curso 101 pela Offensive Security, que na época ainda usava o antigo e famoso Back Track. Caso você não conheça o Back Track, este era um sistema operacional totalmente voltado a testes de invasão, que posteriormente foi transformado e remodelado dando origem ao atual Kali Linux. Durante o curso o aluno aprende a conduzir testes de invasão usando o Kali Linux, sendo que a maior parte do curso é voltada a atividades práticas. Conhecer alguns conceitos de protocolos TCP/IP, Administração de Redes Windows, Linux e um pouco de programação de scripts pode te ajudar a conquistar essa certificação. Contudo, o maior diferencial do curso é o exame para obter a certificação, pois é uma prova totalmente prática que tem uma duração de 24 horas. E durante esse tempo o aluno precisa atacar com sucesso diversas máquinas do laboratório virtual da Offensive Security e gerar um relatório detalhado dos ataques. Após finalizar o exame com sucesso o relatório é revisado pela equipe da Offensive Security e, estando tudo certo, você recebe o seu certificado. Parece fácil não é? Mas esse exame é considerado um dos exames mais difíceis quando o assunto é certificação de segurança da informação. Curso preparatório OSCP 2 – CEH Certified Ethical Hacker Bom, se o seu objetivo é se tornar um hacker ético, almejar a certificação CEH é imprescindível, sendo que o programa é um dos mais desejados e procurados do mercado. A certificação de segurança da informação CEH Certified Ethical Hacker comprova as habilidades técnicas dos alunos ao analisarem vulnerabilidades em sistemas e infraestruturas de TI. Um ponto importante dessa certificação é conhecer bem as ferramentas de hacking disponíveis, pois conhecê-las poderá te ajudar a conquistar a sua certificação. Para poder participar da prova de 125 questões de múltipla escolha com 4 horas de duração é necessário participar de um curso preparatório de mínimo 5 dias ou possuir 2 anos de experiência comprovada em Segurança da Informação. Claramente essa certificação é muito importante, após conquistá-la você provará para todos que possui um bom conhecimento quando o assunto é vulnerabilidade em sistemas. A prova é aplicada pela EC Council, uma organização reconhecida mundialmente por certificar profissionais de segurança da informação nas mais diversas áreas e habilidades. Curso preparatório CEH 3 – CISSP Certified Information System Security Professional Se você está buscando excelência, a certificação CISSP certamente pode te fornecer isso. Isso devido a certificação atender aos padrões da Norma ISO/IEC 17024. Muitos profissionais de segurança dizem que o material de estudos para essa certificação é muito extenso e os requisitos para conquista-lá são rigorosos. Isso devido a exigência de ter pelo menos 5 anos de experiência recente na área de segurança da informação e no mínimo 2 domínios de conhecimentos da estrutura da certificação. A CISSP aborda 10 áreas de conhecimentos, sendo elas as seguintes Metodologia e Sistemas de controle de acesso Segurança em Telecomunicações, Redes e Internet Governança da segurança da informação e gerenciamento de riscos Segurança de desenvolvimento de software Criptografia Arquitetura e Design de Segurança Operações de segurança Continuidade e planejamento de negócios após desastres Leis e investigações éticas Segurança física Bom, como é possível observar essa certificação de segurança da informação é extremamente abrangente, portanto, exige do profissional um elevado grau de conhecimento e comprometimento. Curso preparatório CISSP 4 – CompTIA Security+ Criada em 1982 a CompTIA é uma associação comercial sem fins lucrativos que emite certificações para profissionais de TI. Sendo considerada uma das melhores do setor da tecnologia, suas certificações são reconhecidas mundialmente. Certamente obter a certificação CompTIA Security+ demonstra que o profissional é experiente e possui um vasto conhecimento quando o assunto é segurança da informação. A Securtiy+ é considerada uma certificação de nível básico, entretanto, é exigido no mínimo 2 anos de experiência comprovada trabalhando com segurança de redes. Uma curiosidade sobre essa certificação é que ela é aprovada pelo Departamento de Defesa do Estados Unidos, além de estar em conformidade com os padrões ISO 17024, assim como a CISSP. Portanto, considerar tirar essa certificação é uma excelente decisão, a prova consiste em 90 questões e tem duração de 90 minutos. Simulados para a certificação CompTIA Security+ 5 – CISM Certified Information Security Manager Se você gerencia ou pretende gerenciar sistemas de segurança da informação, você certamente deve investir em uma certificação CISM Certified information Security Manager. Ela foi criada em 2003 pela ISACA Associação de Auditoria e Controle de Sistemas da Informação e desde então tem certificado profissionais com o mais elevados padrões. A certificação CISM foca totalmente no gerenciamento e controle da segurança da informação a nível corporativo, sendo considerada uma das melhores certificações de segurança da atualidade. Contudo, obtê-la pode não ser uma tarefa tão fácil, existem alguns requisitos mínimos, confira abaixo Concordar com o código de ética profissional da ISACA Ter no mínimo 5 anos de experiência em segurança da informação. Dentre esses 5 anos, no mínimo 3 anos devem ter sido em gerenciamento de segurança da informação Sendo que a experiência deve ser verificável, Ok? Devendo ter sido obtidas até 10 anos antes da sua inscrição ou dentro de no máximo 5 anos após ser aprovado no exame Uma vez que a credencial CISM for obtida, ela tem validade de 3 anos e você deve pagar uma taxa de manutenção anual. Após vencer o prazo é necessário renová-la para se manter atualizado. Curso CISM Concluindo Essas foram apenas 5 certificações de segurança da informação listadas neste artigo, mas certamente existem outras que também são importantes e que ficarão para um próximo artigo. Após conhecermos um pouco mais sobre essas certificações, podemos observar que todas exigem muito conhecimento e dedicação. Contudo, obtê-las pode abrir um novo leque profissional para a sua carreira, sendo assim, se você quer trabalhar ou se atualizar no ramo de segurança da informação, dedique um tempo para buscar algumas dessas certificações, você não irá se arrepender! Caso você leitora já possua alguma destas certificações, deixe nos comentários como foi a sua experiência para conquistá-las.
