CCISO vs CISSP (Top Security Certifications)

CCISO vs CISSP

Certified Chief Information Security Officer- CCISO
EC-Council’s CCISO Program has certified leading information security professionals around the world. A core group of high-level information security executives, the CCISO Advisory Board, contributed by forming the foundation of the program and outlining the content that would be covered by the exam, body of knowledge, and training. Some members of the Board contributed as authors, others as exam writers, others as quality assurance checks, and still others as trainers. Each segment of the program was developed with the aspiring CISO in mind and looks to transfer the knowledge of seasoned professionals to the next generation in the areas that are most critical in the development and maintenance of a successful information security program.

The Certified CISO (CCISO) program is the first of its kind training and certification program aimed at producing top-level information security executives. The CCISO does not focus solely on technical knowledge but on the application of information security management principles from an executive management point of view. The program was developed by sitting CISOs for current and aspiring CISOs.

CISSP: A business-focused IT security certification 

The CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) certification, governed by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, is globally recognised.

IT security consultant and managing director of ThreatDefence Zlatko Hristov says, “The CISSP is a very broad certification, and involves a challenging exam. In job descriptions, the CISSP is almost everywhere. If you apply for any IT security job that has management responsibilities, then this certification is a must.”

Cyber-security consultant and IT blogger Karissa A. Breen comments, “The CISSP certification is indicative of someone who is looking to step up in their career. The certification requires a comprehensive level of understanding towards the industry.”

The reason the CISSP is so valuable on a CV stems from the nature of the business environment. According to Hristov, “One of the biggest challenges in IT security is obtaining business endorsement and sign-off on proposed security strategies and measures. A candidate with CISSP will be able to achieve this more easily because it’s a very business-focused certification, giving them the skills to move away from just technical language.”

Canada Immigration: More Candidates Will be Invited in Year 2018

Canada Immigration: More Candidates Will be Invited in Year 2018

Canada will invite more number of Migrants in year 2018. Below is a report published officially:

With higher targets set for Canada’s economic immigration categories for 2018, IRCC will have to perform either larger or more frequent draws from Express Entry pool in the new year, or both. Each of those scenarios could have the effect of lowering the cut-off CRS score.

For the most part, CRS cut-off scores in 2017 have varied from the low 400s to high 450s, with scores in the 430s occurring most often. This is already a big improvement over 2016, which was characterized by draws with low ITAs and high CRS cut-off scores. The lowest CRS score in 2016 was 453. With more ITAs expected to be issued in 2018 than 2017, it is hoped the CRS scores will continue to drop even further.

A few exceptional 2017 draws are also worth noting, namely the May 26 and Nov. 1 draws that targeted candidates with provincial nominations and the Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC). Those draws saw scores both peak as high as 775 points for provincial nominees, who receive an extra 600 CRS points, and plummet as low as 199 for FSTC candidates, who are able to get into the Express Entry pool with lower language scores than candidates in the Federal Skilled Worker Class or the Canadian Experience Class.

Program-specific draws have had the noticeable effect of reducing the cut-off CRS score significantly, as seen with the FSTC-specific Express Entry draws. To date, however, there has not been a program-specific draw for candidates in the Federal Skilled Worker Class and it is therefore unknown what a cut-off for such a draw might look like.

“November has followed the trends of a dynamic 2017 for Canada’s Express Entry system,” said Attorney David Cohen. “There’s reason to believe that 2018 will prove even more interesting, and rewarding, for candidates in the Express Entry pool.”
