CompTIA Security+ is one of the most popular IT certifications for 2019, according to Global Knowledge. It said that 4.5% of IT pros intend to earn the cert this year. Many employers require tech professionals to acquire CompTIA Security+ before they can be considered for non-entry-level IT positions of all types.
Global Knowledge noted that CompTIA Security+ can help tech professionals earn up to $110,321 per year. Now that’s a certification that pays for itself.
Other popular IT certs for 2019, as mentioned by Global Knowledge:
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Certified Solutions Architect
Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP)
Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching
Business News Daily also listed CompTIA Security+ in its top 5 information security certifications for 2019. It stressed that the cybersecurity skills gap is soaring, with almost 302,000 cybersecurity jobs vacant in the United States today.
Business News Daily touted CompTIA Security+ as a valuable IT certification due to its vendor-neutral nature and ability to equip IT pros with high-level tech skills and expertise in a variety of disciplines related to security.
Other top IT certifications, as listed by Business News Daily:
Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)
Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)
Lack of training and resources. All too often technology staff find it difficult to attend conferences and seminars. While in some cases tech staff feel they are too busy and don’t have the time – more often than not they are told there is no or little money for training and travel to meetings. When one realizes the many millions of dollars in hardware, software and program budgets that staff are asked to maintain and manage, it is almost negligent not to insist that staff stay abreast of the latest trends and developments by participating in professional/technical programming and events - beyond the use of online resources and tools.
Added to the list is the lack of certified CIOs were the need has never been greater. Any recognized professional certification program requires the obligation of recertification as there are always changes going on impacting all levels of hardware and software systems. If local government are unwilling or unable to invest in the required competencies then they should seriously consider outsourcing. I am always disheartened to learn how few staff are certified in network and cybersecurity.
