ASHLAND, OHIO, USA, April 27, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- International cybersecurity provider IT Governance Ltd says that those wanting to take advantage of US’ poor cyber defenses and the shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals can open up a new career with its Live Online ISO 27001 training.

Describing the US as a “glass house” when it comes to cyber warfare, Eric Rosenbach, the principle cyber adviser to Defense Secretary Ash Carter, said that although the US has the capability to launch a cyber offensive, it does not have the capability to retaliate because of a shortage of information security professionals.

ISO 27001, the international standard for information security management systems (ISMSs), sets out a risk-based approach to addressing information security threats throughout enterprises of every size or sector.

With the adoption of ISO 27001 growing significantly in the US, more and more businesses are looking for qualified ISO 27001 professionals to implement the standard in their organization.

Rosenbach said that the Defense Department was addressing this skills shortage by “considering ways… to get new pipelines or tunnels of talent in to the department from non-traditional places” in order to attract qualified cybersecurity experts who could form part of a “cyber mission force” to help defend the US against attacks.

For those with the right qualifications, the opportunities are there for the taking. And it’s not just the Defense Department that lacks qualified cybersecurity staff. Industry, too, is in desperate need of new talent.

IT Governance’s Live Online ISO 27001 training courses let delegates study from any location in the world to acquire the knowledge to implement and audit compliance to international best practice. They also deliver the opportunity to achieve industry-standard IBITGQ qualifications that support the development of senior careers in information security management and IT governance.
