From the course: Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) Cert Prep (2022): 1 Information Security Governance

What you need to know

- [Instructor] This course is designed for people who are either already information security managers or are individual contributors aspiring to become managers. You'll need experience as a manager to become CISM certified, but you can take the exam before you meet that experience requirement. I'll cover all of the material that you need to know to pass the CISM exam in this series of courses, but it is helpful if you have some practical experience in security management. That's not a requirement to take the test, but having some context is useful so that you can think through how the material that we cover applies to situations that you've handled in your work.
