Arizona Certified Information Security Practitioner

Photo of a combination lockTo raise awareness of information security practices among government employees and encourage protection of sensitive State information and mission critical technology systems, the Government Information Technology Agency - Statewide Information Security and Privacy Office has developed a new Arizona Certified Information Security Practitioner Program.

The Arizona CISP program can provide State employees with relevant skills and foundational competencies necessary to accomplish the security responsibilities associated with government technology jobs. The program integrates many security skills and competencies of various functional specialties into a common body of knowledge, thereby presenting a multi-disciplinary approach to concepts, issues, and principles, striving to produce IT security specialists.

The security training follows well developed US and international standards, industry best practice methodologies, and technology in the security field. The CISP covers Access Control, Application and Operational Security, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery, Cryptography (Encryption), Legal and Ethics, Physical Security, Security Architecture, and Telecommunications/Network Security.

The certification program consists of an intensive, week long class taught by a certified subject matter expert. Upon completion of the class, students take a comprehensive exam to measure aptitude. In addition, a one-half day follow-up GITA/SISPO class will present the important security synergies of CoBIT®, ITIL® and ISO 17799. Finally, an attestation letter from the agency CIO or Director is a required to prove technical readiness.
