ISACA (MACAO)

ISACA has been recognized with an SC Magazine 2009 Professional Award.  ISACA's Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) designation was selected as the winner of the Best Professional Certification Program, and its Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification was named a finalist.

The CISA certification has been earned by more than 60,000 professionals since its inception in 1978.  It is recognized internationally as the global standard for IS audit, control and security professionals.  CISM, introduced in 2002, has been earned by more than 10,000 professionals.

ISACA's CISA and other 2009 Professional Awards winners were chosen by a panel of 22 judges from major corporations and public-sector organizations that were hand-picked by SC Magazine's editorial team for their breadth of knowledge and experience in the information security industry.  The awards highlight and showcase the best solutions, services and professionals, while recognizing achievement and technical excellence in the information security industry.  With almost 700 entries submitted in 30 catergories, the 2009 SC Awards were the most competitive yet in the program's 12-year history.

"ISACA represents one of the industry's beacons of leadship, and the 2009 SC Awards judges have given it this high distinction for its innovative contributions to IT security over the past year," said Illena Armstrong, editor in chief, SC Magazine.
