— In First Comprehensive Survey, Federal CISOs Give Opinions on Growing Threats in a Recession, CNCI, TIC, Building a Top Workforce and Their Role in a New Administration

ISACA’s Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) was recently voted the Best Professional Certification Program by the 2009 SC Magazine Awards. The Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) credential was also nominated within the same category.

According to SC Magazine:

“The technical skills and practices that CISA promotes and evaluates are the building blocks of success in the field. Possessing the CISA designation demonstrates proficiency and is the basis for measurement in the profession. With a growing demand for pros possessing IS audit, control and security skills, CISA has become a preferred certification program by individuals and organizations around the world. CISA certification signifies commitment to serving an organization and the IS audit, control and security industry with distinction.”
