With dozens, if not hundreds, of various cybersecurity certifications available for consumption in the security training and education market, one program stands alone as the oft-regarded gold standard of skill validation: the CISSP. The CISSP, which stands for Certified Information Systems Security Professional, is the flagship offering from the International Information System Security Certification Consortium. It is the most globally recognized standard of achievement in security certification aimed at giving an individual the ability to confidently design, engineer, implement and run an information security program. (ISC)2 boasts over 132,000 members in over 170 countries.

The CISSP is one of many certifications in the (ISC)2 portfolio. Security professionals can also pursue an SSCP® (Systems Security Certified Practitioner), CCSP® (Certified Cloud Security Professional), CAP® (Certified Authorization Professional), CSSLP® (Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional) or HCISSP®, which focuses on validating the credential holders expertise in the unique security and regulatory requirements within health care organizations.
