The Information Systems Audit and Control Association has become a household name in the IT governance space and is now known and self-identified only by its acronym ISACA. ISACA will proudly celebrate its 50th anniversary as a training and certifying body next year. Although ISACA is a well-established organization serving more than 135,000 members in nearly two hundred countries, it continues to reinvent its core competences and redefine its role within the information technology and governance ecosystem, most recently by introducing a comprehensive cybersecurity performance test to validate technical skills and bridge the gap in today's high-demand/low-supply security job market. The CSXP, or Cybersecurity Nexus Practitioner, certification is an aggressive departure from the flagship Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) designations.
The CSXP is ISACA's first fully focused cybersecurity certification and training initiative. “CSXP is very different from our other certifications,” admits Kim Cohen, director of certifications who has been with ISACA since 2000. “The largest section of our membership is audit driven, and with CSXP we are entering into a new market while also up-training the existing membership.”
