About the CISO & DPO Course

The CISO and DPO course is the most comprehensive and professional course in the field. The CISO is the Security Enabler in the organization. On one hand they are familiar with the various levels of information security and manage technological teams, and on the other hand have a keen business perspective. They are proficient in both risk management and in managing the information security budget. The CISO’s role has expanded in recent years due to increasingly stringent regulatory requirements along with the business needs of the organization in which they work. Furthermore, the CISO must now also have an understanding of technology-related legal issues.

As the data privacy protection officer, the DPO oversees the organization’s data protection strategy and its implementation in order to ensure GDPR compliance. In Israel, the DPO is also responsible for compliance with the Israeli Privacy Protection Regulations that entered into force in May 2018, as well as for fulfilling the conditions required of every company maintaining commercial relations with Europe.

Graduates Recommend

In my second week into the CISO course I had my doubts… what do I need this course for and what chance do I have of making a change in my profession at my age (55)…

"You convinced me to complete the course and promised that making the change and transitioning to the cyber field is possible at any age.

Today, about 3 months after the end of the course, I began work at the Deloitte International Cyber Center".
