About Global ACE
The Global ACE Certification is a holistic framework of cybersecurity professional certification that outlines the overall approach, independent assessments, impartiality of examinations, competencies of trainers, identification and classification of cyber security domains and the requirements of professional memberships. The scheme is a large-scale systematic plan of actions to certify and recognise the cybersecurity workforce. It is industry-driven and vendor-neutral, developed in collaboration with government agencies, industry partners and academia.
The establishment of the scheme is in tandem with international standards such as ISO 9001 on processes, ISO/IEC 17024 on certification of persons and ISO/IEC 27001 on security management, which is vital to:
- Assure workforce capability and experience
- Secure and validate core skills, knowledge, attitude and experience
- Assure trustworthiness, ethical conduct, and responsibility
Global ACE Scheme Recognition Arrangement permits mutual recognition of certified cybersecurity workforce across the country boundaries. It creates value for the cybersecurity industry and elevates the security-facet of participating countries.
