CISOs need to think fast and act fast to respond to cyber incidents. War games in the cyber world are inspired by national defense approaches and tactics and are constantly used by executives to test staff and program readiness. CCISO class exercises prepare students to deal with real-world scenarios and provide ways to immediately apply what they learn and make new concepts stick. Exercises will be done towards the end of the class week based on the content of the class and her BOK.
Wargames can act as a facilitator for exercises, choose from a number of templates to best suit your class, provide intermittent updates during wargames, keep track of your team's best practices, and help you use CCISO. Run by CCISO instructors with a mission to encourage BOK for each team. Each team must create an incident response plan based on the scenario selected by the instructor. Response plans will be evaluated by instructors based on communication approach, effectiveness of decision-making, containment of the cyberattack, notification of data breach parties, and other criteria. The class is also encouraged to respond to each plan presented and point out any flaws or areas for improvement.
In 2020, EC-Council incorporated two other training programs into its live CCISO training: Risk Management Approach and Practice and Certified Project Manager. EC-Council has created an executive management program that combines CCISO training with details on risk and project management. The program also includes an annual standing invitation to the Global CISO Forum, the EC-Council's executive meeting to help CISOs strengthen their networks. A free OhPhish license that allows CCISOs to run phishing simulations to test their own user awareness. 100 user licenses of EC-Council's Certified Secure Computer User class for training end users. CCISO can tailor campaigns to your industry, company, or organization and find out where your weaknesses are. You will also receive a 100-user license for EC-Council's Certified Secure Computer User class to train the necessary users. EC-Council's philosophy is that we need to not only train CISOs, but provide them with the resources to create the best security program possible.
