Which SecOps CIS is the most suitable for someone with my background?

Hi,

 

I am a Solutions Architect who has worked on federal modernization projects for 10+ years, and I have worked with Cybersecurity on the Application layer. I have the Risk and Compliance and Data Foundation CIS certifications, and I am taking the CIS Discovery training. I also have two SANS GIAC certifications, GSEC and GCWN. I am asking for advice: which SecOps CIS fits in the best with my background?

 

Thanks,

V/r

Amy

Hi @amauldon 

 

You really want to do both. The Risk and Security space within ServiceNow is a great place to be in 2026, with the Armis acquisition (SN's biggest buy ever) signaling a strong intention that they're focused on that market.

 

Check out their Unified Security Exposure Management play.

 

Also, get to know AI Control Tower, another important component of their risk & security play.
