Having a computing security degree is already a sure and interesting job, but if you weren’t lucky enough or you want to boost your professional development. Here are some amazing certifications. These three are the ones that I found more interesting. Specially the ISSEP cause it is not that expensive and we have already the material. I also think that your work certifies you the most, besides any corporation saying you can do something; it is better showing you’ve done it before. Anyways let’s get right into it.
Global Information Assurance Certification Security Essentials. It is the most important and known organization in charge of security certifications. It evaluates the abilities and knowledge in security of IT systems. They offer an exam mainly consisting of questions and exercises, it’s about five hours long and it has a cost of. It costs around a thousand US dollars and unfortunately they don’t offer a price for us students. If you want to take this certificate they suggest to prepare yourself with their own courses and material (around 5 thousand dollars).
(ISSEP/CISSP). What is interesting about this certification is that the organization is in association with the US National Security Agency, like in the movies. It’s mainly about good practices and methodologies for big enterprises and organizations. It had a 36% value growth in the last year.
