The future of national security lies in the hands of our cyber leaders, as they set policies, make workforce decisions, manage vendors and contractors, and run the entire supply chain. Providing decisive support with escalating global tensions and fighting a war on an invisible shifting battlefield are just a couple tasks our nation\u2019s cyber leaders confront every day.<\/p>

Focusing on the advanced level qualifications, DoD 8140 recognized the EC-Council<\/a>‘s Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO)<\/a> program as meeting the qualification standards for some of the most demanding cyber leadership roles across the defense community. As the United States pursues the execution of its cyber strategy, the DoD will rely on the CCISO certification to qualify its top leaders in their roles.<\/p>
