Cyber ​​Security Certifications Now

We know that there are  many jobs available  for those interested in working safely. And there is no shortage of safety certifications for those who want to demonstrate to employers that they have obtained the education they need to succeed. But in a rapidly evolving and evolving field, what certifications are on fire lately?

Part of the answer depends on the company you are hiring. According to Simone Petrella, CEO of CyberVista  Cybersecurity Operation Engineer training and education company, companies with emerging security programs can rely more on certifications than those with more mature programs. In these cases, CISSP and Security + are among the most popular general certifications. (More on this later.)

However, specialized industry sectors such as healthcare are growing, as are requests for cloud certifications, Petrella adds. As time goes on, "ordinary certificates are probably less useful than more specialized ones," she says.

Certified Internet Professional of Things (CIoTSP)

For whom:  For practitioners looking to demonstrate a vendor-neutral, intersectoral skill set that will enable them to design, implement, operate, and / or manage a secure IoT ecosystem.

Potential roles:  network administrator, software development engineer, solution architect, platform engineer, database developer, IAM administrator / engineer.

Secure Cyber ​​Encoder (CSC)

"More organizations realize that agile and scrum iterative development approaches have prioritized market speed, with fewer development professionals well versed in approaches to developing code safely," according to CertNexus spokesman Jeff Felice.

Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)

 Why is it hot:  never been? Often considered a must for aspiring CSOs and CISOs, it is one of the best-known certifications for leaders in the field.

Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP)

Number of new certificates since October 1, 2018:  2,365

Why It's Hot: In  keeping with the growing use of cloud technologies, CCSP has been increasing in popularity in recent years, according to a representative from (ISC) 2. Certification Magazine recently named CCSP the “next big hit” that Certification professionals would be seeking this year.

HealthCare Health and Information Security Professional (HCISPP)

Number of new certificates since October 1, 2018:  246

Why it's hot:  ISC representatives (2) note that HCISPP is another certification that is rapidly gaining popularity. This is due to increased healthcare privacy regulations as well as highly targeted and industry-damaging ransomware attacks - nearly  500 of these attacks  so far this year.
