Cybersecurity leadership roles are ever-expanding, from daily operations to risk assessment, incident management and beyond. Today’s cybersecurity professionals are managing a great number of challenges, not just external threats but daily operations as well, from hiring to procedures, managing budgets and beyond. A recent ISC2 survey found that regardless of tenure, cybersecurity professionals in leadership positions receive limited management training.
To support these evolving needs, ISC2 recently released four courses that set cybersecurity professionals up for success in establishing and managing security programs. All four courses are available on-demand and range from three to five hours. ISC2 members save 20% and earn CPE credits for completion.

Building a High-Performing Cybersecurity Team provides learners with an understanding of how to apply best practices when recruiting talent for the unique and diverse field of cybersecurity. ISC2 is a leader in cybersecurity workforce research, our experts have drilled deep into the industry with proven knowledge on how to successfully grow your team.
Incident Management: Preparation and Response
Incident Management: Preparation and Response is a new course helping leaders define a security incident, prevent an incident from becoming a breach and leverage security incidents to improve an organization’s security posture. Understand the people, processes and technology needed to effectively manage incidents and develop and document a protocol for responding to common incidents.
Responding to a Breach
Responding to a Breach prepares participants with an inside look at a cybersecurity breach, allowing for a hands-on experience in the safety of a simulated scenario. Learners will gain comprehensive understanding as to how to design an incident response plan by applying a framework and phased approach to cyber incidents. This progressive training is more necessary than ever, as shown in Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report, with 44% of cybersecurity breaches now involving ransomware.
Gaining Support for Your Security Program
Gaining Support for Your Security Program prepares learners to manage the perspectives and perceptions of the stakeholders they need to enable security initiatives to be a success. This course considers the viewpoints, needs and concerns of a range of stakeholders and helps leaders provide clear messaging that helps generate buy-in for proposed initiatives. Engage stakeholders before, during and after implementing technology initiatives.
