CPE Credits
Every security practitioner has to engage in Continuing Professional Education (CPE).
The most common way you’d interact with CPEs is through the formal process to submit CPE credits for the CISSP certification. Insider Risk Community Events are a great opportunity to receive CPE credits throughout the year.
At most Insider Risk Community events, you can accrue CPE credits for each accredited session you register for and attend. Following the event, if you require proof of participation, please email cpe@insiderrisksummit.com and we will provide you with a CPE certificate for your records.
You must attend sessions under your registered email address and through the event platform to qualify for CPE credits.
