Welcome to the GIAC GSOM Audio Course
Certified: The ISACA GSOM Audio Course is built for security leaders, managers, and senior practitioners who need to run a security program that holds up under real pressure. If you’re stepping into a security operations management role, leveling up from hands-on work into leadership, or trying to bring order to a messy set of tools and processes, this course is for you. It assumes you understand the basics of security and IT, but it does not assume you’ve had years to formalize operations, metrics, staffing, or governance. The focus stays practical: how to make daily operations predictable, how to lead people through incidents and change, and how to communicate risk in a way the business will actually act on.
In Certified: The ISACA GSOM Audio Course, you’ll learn how to translate security strategy into operating rhythm, roles, workflows, and measurable outcomes. We’ll cover how to structure a security operations function, define service expectations, prioritize work, and build a repeatable approach to monitoring, response, vulnerability management, and continuous improvement. You’ll also work through the management layer that often gets skipped: budgeting, staffing models, skills planning, reporting, and alignment with enterprise risk and compliance needs. Because it’s audio-first, you can learn in short blocks that fit your schedule, and each lesson is designed to be clear enough to replay on a commute and still apply when you’re back at the keyboard.
What makes Certified: The ISACA GSOM Audio Course different is that it treats security operations as a living system, not a checklist. You’ll hear how strong programs make decisions, document tradeoffs, and keep teams focused when the environment changes. The course balances exam readiness with job readiness, so you’re not just memorizing terms—you’re building a mental model you can use in meetings, during incidents, and while planning the next quarter. Success looks like this: you can explain your operating model, defend your priorities, measure what matters, and lead a team that delivers consistent results without burning out.
