Zero Trust Certification​

β€œZero Trust is not a product. It’s a mindset shift”

Zero Trust is central to modern security, but not every approach delivers the intended outcomes. It must be architected, enforced, and continuously evolved across the business to be effective. Enroll in Zero Trust Certification to learn the fundamentals, architecture, and practical steps needed to design and implement a successful Zero Trust strategy.

How do I get started with Zero Trust certification?​​

Register once for Cato Expert Certification, then enroll in the Zero Trust course. Each lesson includes a short exam, and a total score of 85% or higher earns your certification. You can retake courses/exams as often as needed to pass. Your enrollment also unlocks Cato’s full, free cybersecurity course library, including foundational tracks like SASE Expert Level 1 or AI in Cybersecurity, and additional advanced learning. Every successfully completed course comes with a downloadable certificate and Credly badge.

How do ISC2 CPE credits work for Cato courses?​​

You earn 1 ISC2 CPE credit per hour of eligible Cato learning, with most courses awarding 2–3 credits based on average completion time. After you enter your ISC2 ID at the start of an eligible course, Cato automatically submits your credits to ISC2 as part of a monthly submission. No action is required on your part. Credits typically appear in your ISC2 account within a few weeks after ISC2 review and apply to any qualifying certification, including CISSP, CCSP, SSCP, and others.

Are there any prerequisites?​

No, but our courses are suited to anyone working in enterprise IT or security, including IT professionals, network engineers, system administrators, information security teams, cybersecurity pros, security engineers, CIOs, and CISOs. We recommend SASE Expert Level 1 or AI in Cybersecurity (foundational courses) to start your learning.​
