The CBROPS - Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals v1.0 course provides an understanding of the network infrastructure devices, operations, and vulnerabilities associated with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite.

The EC-Council CCISO programme has certified top-tier information security professionals globally. A core group of high-level information security executives, the CCISO Advisory Board, contributed by forming the foundation of the programme and outlining the content that would be covered by the exam, body of knowledge, and training. Some members of the Board contributed as authors, others as exam writers, others as quality assurance checks, and still others as trainers. Each segment of the programme was developed with the aspiring CISO in mind and looks to transfer the knowledge of seasoned professionals to the next generation in the areas that are most critical in the development and maintenance of a successful information security programme.

The Certified CISO (CCISO) programme is the first of its kind training and certification programme aimed at producing top-level information security executives. The CCISO does not focus solely on technical knowledge but on the application of information security management principles from an executive management point of view. The programme was developed by sitting CISOs for current and aspiring CISOs.
