The Importance of Certifications
|
|
Today, information technology
is changing at an ever-increasing rate.
So how do companies determine whether employees and candidates have the
skills needed in this rapidly changing IT environment? The answer is certification. Certifications are a proven method of
assessing qualifications. They document
a person's knowledge and skill by proving one's technical ability through a
series of tests.
In some instances certification is, or will soon be, required. By the
end of FY 2010, all personnel performing IA functions described in the
DoD 8570.01-M must be certified. This includes the military and civilian IA workforce, as well as contractors performing IA functions on a DoD system. To read more about DoD Directive 8570.1, click here
At /training/etc, we can assist you in obtaining the certifications you need. We
provide numerous courses and tests needed in the certification process,
including those listed below.
Certified Ethical Hacking Certification
Computer hacking is widespread and is currently being "executed so flawlessly that attackers compromise a system, steal everything of value, and completely erase their tracks within 20 minutes." The goal of the ethical hacker is to help an organization take preemptive measures against malicious attacks by attacking the system; all the while staying within legal limits. This thinking is similar to attempting to catch a thief by thinking like one. A Certified Ethical Hacker is a skilled professional who understands and knows how to look for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and uses the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker. At /training/etc, we offer a CEH course that prepares students for the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker exam 312-50, which is required for certification. Certified Ethical Hacker is currently being offered the week of April 19 - 23, 2010.
REGISTER FOR CEH NOW.

workplace. For businesses, hiring certified workers means higher

turnover. CompTIA A+

security, accredited by the ANSI (American National Standards
Institute) to ISO (International Standards Organization) Standard
17024:2003. CISSP certification is not only an objective measure of
excellence, but a globally recognized standard of achievement. We offer a CISSP course, which helps prepare students for the CISSP® examination. This course is being offered April 19 and June 21. REGISTER NOW.
