The (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity exam, designed for entry- and junior-level practitioners or career changers looking to start a new cybersecurity career, is now available in six languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish and English.
Making this exam available in additional languages is a key part of the association’s global pledge of One Million Certified in Cybersecurity, which offers free Certified in Cybersecurity exams and self-paced education courses for one million people through the (ISC)² Candidate program.
The 2022 (ISC)² Cybersecurity Workforce Study revealed that more than 464,000 cybersecurity workers joined the profession in 2022. Despite that growth, the demand for cybersecurity workers outpaces the supply. In fact, China faces a shortage of 1.4 million cybersecurity professionals, and Germany needs more than 100,000 cybersecurity professionals. Offering this exam in more languages will help to increase the number of certified professionals in these countries.
The Certified in Cybersecurity self-paced training is also available in Chinese, German and Spanish, with Japanese and Korean coming soon.
Candidates are encouraged to join the online CC Study Group on the (ISC)² Community to connect with others preparing for the exam.
The Certified in Cybersecurity certification recently topped the list of 6 Security Certifications that will get You Hired in 2023 by The Enterprisers Project, an online publication and community helping CIOs and IT leaders solve problems.
