Anyone have a CISM certification? I know it’s not the holy grail, CISSP, just checking to see if it’s worth pursuing as a cyber consultant.

I personally have the CISSP but work with several that have the CISM. I do think it’s definitely worth it cert for targeting future management roles or just cyber advisory in generic practice. I mainly work on the GRC side of the house though, so keep that in perspective.

Thank you, that is very helpful!

I think if you can’t or don’t want to get the CISSP it has its place. But keep in mind that almost every job that requires a CISM will accept the CISSP. The reverse is not always true.

Hi! I would love to talk to someone who is in the Cyber / Risk Advisory practice at Deloitte. What kind of projects do you work on? What is the typical lifetime of projects? Is it similar to Accenture (in case you know)?

Look for postings of jobs you want and see what cert they are asking for. That way, you don't waste your time on something that won't get you where you want to be.

Generally, a degree and one relevant cert will get you where you want to be. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake. I probably wouldn't hire someone just because of their certs. Experience, presentation in the interview, a candidate's thought process on answering difficult questions, and team fit are all more important than the collection of certs. (This coming from someone who has too many certs to list)
