Information security management skills are focused on the top-level management of the procedures revolving around the collection, processing, and storage of information to ensure that it is well-secured. The skills you get from such courses are useful in furthering your career if you are already within the IT field. Unfortunately, beginners will not find any advantage in taking this course since it is unlikely that they will be given management positions. Experienced professionals that take the time to get the necessary training and certification in ISM will be in a better position to get executive positions in the organization relating to security. These positions include CISO and CTO.
