Designed for Chief Information Security Officers

The 11-week Duke CISO Executive Education Program is designed to empower chief information security officers, government officials, corporate managers, and executives to confidently and effectively address cybersecurity threats. Moreover, the course will enhance competitiveness in the field by fostering the foresight needed to adeptly manage future cyber risks. 

Facilitated by leading global experts and practitioners, participants will engage in a rigorous online curriculum and gain proficiency in diverse subjects, including but not limited to cloud security, operational technology security, artificial intelligence/machine learning security, and various other pertinent topics.

Sample Schedule and Program Information

  • Candidates will attend the Duke Sanford School of Public Policy Cybersecurity Leadership Program. The program is a four-day collaborative effort between the Sanford School of Public Policy, School of Law, Pratt School of Engineering and Department of Computer Science. The fourth day of the program will be a dedicated immersion day exclusively for CISO program participants. The focus of the program is to educate senior leaders so that they can better execute the responsibilities of a board member of a publicly traded company in the United States. That same content is critical for government officials to understand how best to work with the private sector to mitigate the risk of cybersecurity attacks. The content from the Cybersecurity Leadership Program will prepare you for the subsequent remote sessions.

  • The Duke CISO Executive Education program will provide nine (9) live, virtual modules of 3-hour blocks of instruction. The online modules will be recorded for those attendees that are not able to view the session synchronously and will be provided via a remote learning application. The remote sessions will be taught by instructors from the Duke Cybersecurity Program, Sanford School of Public Policy, Department of Computer Science, and the Law School.

  • At the conclusion of the online sessions, attendees will complete an examination. Participants who pass the exam will receive the Duke CISO Executive Education Certificate.
