IT Security Certifications "It validates what you know," says David Botelho, a senior network engineer for Greenwich Technology Partners in Dallas, who recently attained the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) credential. "Right now with the job market very soft, experience doesn't stick out when an HR person is going through 500 resumes." But a security certification can help.

Employers want security certifications Peter Stephenson, an IT security consultant, says he wouldn't bother getting a security certification unless it helped feed his family. In his case, it did. Some security professionals have begun to question the value of their most highly-valued certifications, as more and more people pass those tests, said Stephenson, a consultant at Eastern Michigan University's Center for Regional and National Security, during a presentation at the Computer Security Institute's (CSI) Computer Security Conference and Exhibition in Washington, D.C.

Certifications, Padding the E-mail Signature Certifications; It's one of the most highly contested issues in our field. Some people love them, some people hate them, but everyone has passionate theories about their validity. There seems to be three general groups of people. The first group has just gotten their first or second cert, which is usually a CCNA, MCP, or something from CompTIA. These people have usually been doing IT work for a year or so, look at the most recent salary survey, sees that the average CCNA makes $64,000 a year and thinks, "If I can only pass this one test, then I'll make that much money too!"

A Harvest of Security Certifications To say that there are a lot of certifications available in security is like saying there is a lot of water available in the ocean. Vendors who offer other certifications - such as CIW and CompTIA - have entries in this field alongside organizations such as (ISC)2 that specialize only in the security area. For this article, I originally intended to compare and contrast every security certification available. To my consternation, however, the more I looked, the more certifications kept appearing in the quagmire. I finally realized that those certifications specific to only one product or concept were of less value to readers than those that looked at security from a broader scale. At peace with the fact that one or two lesser-known entities might not be included, I created the alphabetic list (in vendor order) that follows.
