GIAC Launches New Certification for GIAC Strategic Planning, Policy and Leadership, GSTRTBETHESDA, Md., Sept. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- GIAC, the leading provider and developer of Cyber Security Certifications, has launched a new certification for GIAC Strategic Planning, Policy and Leadership (GSTRT). The new GIAC Strategic Planning, Policy and Leadership cyber security certification is targeted toward managers responsible for developing or maintaining cyber security programs and technical cyber security professionals wanting to learn proven business analysis, strategic planning, and management tools. Get certified in GIAC Strategic Planning, Policy and Leadership: www.giac.org/u/wnq "Members of the C-Suite tend to view all technologists, and especially cyber security professionals, with a bit of suspicion and trepidation as they advance into the ranks of senior management. The skills that cause someone to be promoted into the CISO position are often different than the skills that keep them there as successful executives. The problem is exacerbated by the ease of "name dropping" senior executive terms like strategic planning, budget discipline, and return on investment. A certification like the GSTRT demonstrates the successful candidate has proven knowledge in both the cyber security domain and the skills needed in cost effective governance," stated Stephen Northcutt, original author MGT514, GIAC Founder, Founding President SANS.EDU. Successful GSTRT candidates will demonstrate their knowledge to build and manage cyber security rograms with an eye towards meeting the needs of the business, board members, and executives. "The new management certification, GSTRT, demonstrates that the holder possesses the skills necessary to be a modern security leader that can create security plans and programs that resonate with other business leaders, set strategic direction, and effectively lead their teams to accomplish business goals," said Frank Kim, Course Author SANS MGT514. The GSTRT certification, associated with the SANS MGT514, IT Security Strategic Planning, Policy, and Leadership course, is available now to the public.
