ISC2 expects first AI security certification in early 2027
Original title: First ISC2 AI Security Certification Expected for Early 2027
The still-unnamed exam has six domains, a December 2026 beta, and a four-year experience rule with CISSP waivers.
ISC2 said at Security Congress 2026 in Denver that its tenth certification, focused on securing AI-enabled environments, should be available in the first quarter of 2027 if a pilot succeeds. CEO Scott Beale said the credential has no name yet and is still under development. A pilot opened October 26, and ISC2 wants 3,000 volunteers for a December 2026 beta, with interest due by November 4. It is open to members and non-members who secure AI and machine-learning systems.
Unconfirmed: Availability as early as January 2027 is Beale’s estimate and depends on a successful pilot.
- About 10,000 volunteers contributed through Job Task Analysis surveys.
- Domains include governance, privacy, architecture, operations, and AI threats.
- Candidates need four years’ paid experience, including two in cybersecurity.
- Active CISSP, CCSP, CSSLP, and several other ISC2 credentials can substitute.
- Beale said AI questions are being added to existing ISC2 certifications.
