ITIL 4 InfoSec case studies
ITIL 4 InfoSec · Put your knowledge to work in context.
ITIL 4 Specialist: Information Security Management is a professional certification in the ITIL 4 certification scheme, offered through the PeopleCert certification body. It is aimed at practitioners who need to integrate information security management into digital product and service management: security managers, service management professionals moving into security roles, risk and compliance specialists, and consultants who advise organisations on protecting information across the service value chain. The exam assesses whether you can explain information security concepts in the ITIL 4 context, translate governance and strategy into security direction, run risk management that connects to the organisation's risk appetite, select and operate controls that support practices such as access management, supplier management and problem management, and handle security incidents and continual improvement without breaking service delivery. Preparation should start from the official ITIL 4 publications and the official exam syllabus, then move to applied practice: mapping security controls onto the service value chain, writing risk treatment options, and rehearsing incident scenarios that involve confidentiality, integrity and availability trade-offs. The ITIL 4 InfoSec case studies are 5 cases and about 3,848 words.
