ISACA Launches New AI Security Credential to Enhance Cybersecurity Skills and Expertise
ISACA has introduced a new certification focused on AI-centred security management, known as the Advanced in AI Security Management (AAISM). This credential is now available exclusively to Certified Information Security Managers (CISM) and Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSP). The launch of the AAISM comes in response to ISACA’s recent AI Pulse Poll, which revealed that 95 per cent of digital trust professionals are concerned about the potential exploitation of generative AI by malicious actors. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into business operations across various sectors, the demand for skilled security professionals capable of managing and safeguarding AI systems has surged. The AAISM certification aims to equip security professionals with the skills necessary to implement enterprise AI solutions while effectively identifying, assessing, monitoring, and mitigating associated risks.
The AAISM is the first credential of its kind offered by ISACA and provides a comprehensive learning path across three core domains: AI governance and programme management, AI risk management, and AI technologies and controls. Eligibility for this certification is limited to those who already hold either a CISM or CISSP. ISACA emphasises that the AAISM builds upon established security management best practices, specifically addressing the evolving threat landscape related to AI. Exam preparation materials for the AAISM are available in both digital and print formats, including an official review manual and an online review course. Candidates have access to these resources for one year, allowing ample time for examination preparation. The AAISM credential validates the commitment of information security managers to enhance their expertise in the rapidly changing landscape of enterprise security influenced by AI technologies.
