The
real value of certification isn’t so much the cert you receive
it is really the steps that a person must goes through in order
to pass the required exams.
Security breaches
may occur in any part of a system. That includes business
systems as well as computer systems. For this reason, security
is everyone’s job. Everyone who has sensitive information or
access to sensitive systems poses a vulnerability to the
organization’s security. Even a company directory may be
considered sensitive, and every employee has access to that.
Security is not intuitive. Most people do not think in these
terms. A help-desk analyst, for example, is trained to be
helpful, not suspicious. So if everyone is a potential
vulnerability, and the necessary outlook and knowledge are not
commonly found in employees, then there is a clear need for
education, training, and certification.
