    ISC2

    ISC2 is the largest non-profit membership association of certified cyber, information, software and infrastructure security professionals worldwide with nearly 675,000 members, associates and candidates in more than 175 countries.

    In partnership with Credly, ISC2 translates certification status into digital badges. These badges, based on Open Badge standards, allow for easy management, sharing and verification of credentials.

    Digital badges also allow individuals to keep their credentials current in an online world. Instead of making employers wait for member numbers or other verification processes, badge holders can provide a simple one-click confirmation of their certifications and skills.

    Our Journey Together

    Credly Supports ISC2 in Strengthening the Global Cybersecurity Workforce

    ISC2 became a Credly issuer with a full suite of credentials already having been issued to more than 100,000 members around the world through ISC2 certification process. ISC2 members are happy to have the digital badges from Credly as a way to share their verified accomplishments virtually.

    The ISC2 community of certified members and associates has grown tremendously during the time with Credly. In 2022, ISC2 launched two of their top three statuses that receive a Credly badge.

We are approaching that milestone and now have more than 65,000 members holding the Certified in Cybersecurity badge. Our focus continues to be on building this program and continuing to provide development opportunities to our entry-level certification holders. The cybersecurity workforce gap continues to grow, and the workforce needs to attract new talent to keep up with the persistent evolution of threats.
