Security is a top priority globally as cyber-attacks have increased in frequency, intensity and severity. It is critical for businesses and organisations to have qualified information security professionals to manage cybersecurity threats and incidents.

To support the development of personnel in this demanding profession since 2010, the Association of Information Security Professionals (AiSP) has been offering its Qualified Information Security Professional (QISP®) Programme. The QISP® examination enables the professionals in Singapore to attest their knowledge in AiSP’s IS-BOK domains.
