Progent offers fast and economical access to CISSP-certified cybersecurity consultants.

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has awarded the CISSP credential official accreditation in the field of cybersecurity under ISO/IEC 17024. This is the first time that an IT credential has been assigned ANSI approval. CISSP is also formally recognized by the United States Department of Defense in their IAT and IAM disciplines. In addition, CISSP has been accepted as a standard for the U.S. NSA's Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP) initiative to secure the NII.
