Why Is Security + Certification Become So Popular Rapidly

First of all, the domestic network information security industry is developing rapidly, and there is a huge gap of information security talents. Network information security has attracted more and more attention, both at the government level and in all walks of life. In particular, the network security law, which will be officially promulgated by the state in June, further clarifies the importance of network information security. In this context, the number of existing network information security practitioners has been unable to meet the huge demand of the industry. A large number of professional fresh graduates and traditional IT operation and maintenance personnel urgently need an authoritative certification as a stepping stone to enter the information security industry. However, at present, CISSP and CISSP recognized in China need many years of information security experience to obtain the certification. Security + Certification solves this problem due to its characteristics. It has become the first choice to enter the information security industry.

Secondly, security + certification is an internationally renowned certification with high gold content.

It has been rated as one of the top ten international IT industry certifications. The certification fully meets the requirements of ISO 17024 standard for personal certification, meets the skill requirements of the U.S. Department of defense for it technology employees (8570.01-m), and complies with the provisions of the U.S. federal information security management requirements (FISMA). Professional knowledge and skills can also get rich returns for professional and technical personnel. According to the statistics of the U.S. labor office, the annual income of Information Security Commissioner, system security administrator, information security manager and other positions is generally higher than USD86,000.

Thirdly, professional certification focusing on technology and practical operation ability. Security + certification involves network security; Compliance and operational safety; Threats and vulnerabilities; Application, data and host security; Access control and identity management; Encryption technology and other modules.

The government has also launched the Chinese test to facilitate more people to obtain authoritative international certification.
