Why SCP Certifications

Network Security is essential to every business and organization. Data theft, loss of productivity and decreased profits are unfortunately commonplace due to security breaches. IT Security Pros must be specifically trained to think proactively. The Security Certified Program's SCNP and SCNA
certifications provide a solid knowledge of both defense network security systems and the newer trusted needs of security.

Over the years, certification has become the foundation method for verification of an employees skill. The demand for IT professionals with skills in the fast changing world of network security have been hard to find. When those people are found, there has been no solid method of verification of those skills. The Security Certified Program has changed that. Today's complex electronic world requires IT pros with security skills above the standard. The Security Certified Program ensures that employers know that those candidates holding SCP certifications have undergone extensive training, and have passed the difficult and detailed examinations.

The IT industry has changed. The skills required of Security Professionals and Architects have changed. Networks are moving away from purely perimeter-based defensive protection and towards complex, interconnected trusted communication systems. As this change progresses, it requires those IT pros trusted to maintain the communication paths have only the best in education
and that their skills can be verified.
