CERTIFICATIONS

The real value of certification isn’t so much the cert you receive it is  really the steps that a person must goes through in order to pass the required exams. Security breaches may occur in any part of a system. That includes business  systems as well as computer systems. For this reason, security is everyone’s job.  Everyone who has sensitive information or access to sensitive systems poses a  vulnerability to the organization’s security. Even a company directory may be  considered sensitive, and every employee has access to that. Security is not intuitive. Most people do not think in these terms. A help-desk  analyst, for example, is trained to be helpful, not suspicious. So if everyone is a  potential vulnerability, and the necessary outlook and knowledge are not commonly  found in employees, then there is a clear need for education, training, and certification.
