WHY SHOULD I WORRY ABOUT CYBERSECURITY?
And at a time when the skills shortage is increasing, the threat of a cyber attack and the cost that an organization will incur from an attack is increasing as well.
So, why should you worry about cybersecurity? Well, you can’t afford not to.
WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT CYBERSECURITY CERTIFICATIONS?
Certifications provide a way to validate specific professionals competencies in both a current and an ongoing basis, which is more important in an industry that is constantly evolving. In almost every case, a cybersecurity certification exists to address a skills gap. It has been designed to evaluate a very specific set of knowledge, skills, and abilities required of an individual in a specific job function or performing specific tasks. Typically, it requires ongoing continuing education or recertification to ensure continued competence in the subject areas. Often, it also maps to specific industry standards, validating that it meets the stringent requirements of an organization or overseeing body.
From both an employer and employee perspective, certifications can be expensive and time consuming. And yet, when surveyed, both cite numerous reasons for why certifications matter. By requiring a certification, an employer can validate that an employee has the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their job duties. They can reap the benefits of the increased job performance, organizational efficiencies, and collective expertise that tend to accompany certifications. By holding a certification, an individual can continuously improve and build upon their competencies, provide proof of these competencies, and command higher salaries. Together, they can identify career pathways and place the right people in the right job functions to support ongoing talent progression.
