Career on information security

Answer:

As ways to enhance your chances in a information security career, besides our site, I suggest you to look for contacts and training opportunities in the websites of organizations such as ISACA (www.isaca.org), ISC2 (www.isc2.org/), SANS (www.sans.org/) and NIST (www.nist.gov/).

Specifically for ISO 27001, you can consider two certifiable courses:
- ISO 27001 Lead Implementer – this certification recognizes people who have competency on the ISO 27001 implementation process.
- ISO 27001 Lead Auditor – this certification recognizes people who have competency on auditing an ISMS against ISO 27001 requirements and want to become certification auditor (and with this provides more confidence to an organization for being certified).
