Why take this course?

Hi there, my name is Theodore Panagacos and I am a full-time adviser to Chief Information Security Officers (CISO). 


Are you an aspiring Chief Information Security Officer or Security Operations Manager or Security Architect who has been struggling with your current progression in this field and want to quickly take your career to the next level?

 

In this course I show you exactly what a Chief Information Security Officer is and how YOU can become one in any organization.


As a career consultant who has spent nearly 20 years in the cyber security industry, I’ve been fortunate to work alongside some of the world’s top performing Chief Information Security Officers. By working with these leaders, not only did I learn first-hand how they were appointed into the role, but I quickly found I started to mentor others on improving their career too.


In this course I will show you:

  • What is a CISO and where they fit within an organization's structure.

  • Who they report to and what their responsibilities are.

  • What skills and expertise you need to land your first role as a CISO.

  • What challenges CISO's typically face in their role.

  • Common traits that successful CISOs have.


Not only is this course realistic and practical, but it will help prepare and plan your career to ensure you're on the right path.


While this course will teach you how to become a CISO, it has also been designed to make you a more effective cyber security expert. This Chief Information Security Officer Master Class covers critical aspects of the CISO that will help you add immediate value to your cyber security career. Best of all, the course has been structured in an easy-to-follow format, and includes course notes so you can continue your education offline.


This course is suitable for beginners and students at all levels. You also do not need a background in Cyber Security to participate in this course.

I'm just starting out on my adventure towards becoming a World Class CISO and I have read a decent amount of books, consumed a good amount of Youtube videos and courses, this course by far has given me a solid "what-to-do" in laying that foundation. FANTASTIC, MOTIVATIONAL COURSE!! Highly recommend.

While I did find the course very informative, it should be named "What is required of a CISO" rather than "How to become a CISO". I will reference this information as a refresher, but it was not exactly what I was looking for to BECOME a CISO.

I enjoyed the course. I think the challenges for this role was most insightful. If someone isn't ready to be pulled in every direction and have fingers pointed at them maybe another role is better suited for them.

I'm aiming to be an IT security consultant rather than a CISO. This course seems to be giving me a good understanding of the roles of the people I would work with. The only reason I haven't given it five stars yet is that it seems light on the details. However, that may change

I got a better understanding of the subject! Good practical examples! It is worth to make your own notes, and go through lectures couple of times, and make your own "check-list"!

Very insightful. Having 6 years in security and now considering starting the path to CISO, the information here is spot on. No fluff and left with a lot to think about (and some additional reading). Highly recommend to all levels in industry as there are deep insights here to help you assess the quality of a CISO, organization security culture, and yourself.

CISO training has indeed exposed me to in-depth knowledge about information security management and I really enjoyed it

I would say that "How to become a CISO" is a misleading title for this course. It mostly focuses on qualitative aspects (e.g. leadership skills, personal qualities, etc) as opposed to practical aspects of the position. It's hard to apply any of this to pursue my position as CISO. It touches nothing on things like "framework to assess and identify risks in your organization" "counter measurements for typical information risks" "how to plan budget for security" Requires improvement.

Got everything needed to know to get on the pathway of being a CISO, he breaks it down in black and white knowing his education will either encourage or discourage you to startup but all you need is the honest truth, which is all he has provided in this lecture. Above all, thumbs up!
