CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) and CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) are two of the most recognized certifications in cybersecurity, each catering to different roles and expertise within the industry. CISSP, provided by (ISC)², is designed for professionals who want to deepen their knowledge of a wide range of security practices, covering domains such as asset security, software development, and network security. It’s ideal for hands-on roles and is often pursued by security analysts, consultants, and engineers. In contrast, CISM, offered by ISACA, is targeted toward those in, or aspiring to be in, management roles.
