Security Courses – Training for the Information Assurance Professional

Information security certification courses can help IT professionals formally validate their knowledge and their experience of cyber-security topics and practices. Several certification programs are currently available that are designed to help security managers acquire the skills needed to better function in their roles and to help them demonstrate their subject matter expertise in key security domains. The pages listed at the top are some of the more reputable information security certification programs.

The Best Security Certification Course Training Company

Over the past five years no company has risen to the top of the IT security courses spectrum than Advanced Security by Academy of Computer Education. Advanced Security was awarded the EC-Council ATC of the Year Award (which is the #1 EC-Council training vendor in the world). Advanced Security is exactly what the name implies, advanced. Due to a level of information security instructors that is higher than most training vendors they incorporate more advanced hacking, pentesting and forensics into their security courses. Students get to perform labs that exceed the average lab lead from a text book and performed by a book trained instructor. Security courses from Advanced Security include cutting edge, highly advanced techniques, even in classes like the Security+ students experience more than they would at other training companies.

Different Levels of Cyber Security Courses

Many people need to know which level of cyber security course is right for them. Typically, someone with no IT security experience will begin with the CompTIA Security+ certification, unless you have a substantial amount of sys admin or network admin experience. If that’s the case, you may want to jump directly into the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). After reaching a penetration testing level of CEH, then the choices are much more open and can include courses like ECSA/LPT, Advanced Penetration Tester and CHFI.

The 3 Must Have Training Courses for 2012

Based on the trends in the IT security industry as well as the training and certification industry, we have released our list of the 3 must have IT certifications from 2012. This year’s list includes:

- ECCouncil’s ECSA / LPT Certification
- Cyber War from Advanced Security
- Microsoft’s MCITP – Server Administrator

The ECSA / LPT made the list mainly because of the huge rush for people to achieve the CEH certification over the last few years. These people are hungry for more hacking and then ECSA / LPT is the next step in the progression.

Cyber War made the list based on all the hackers who have come out of the woodwork and entered the professional arena since hacking training has become popular. Cyber war is the highest level of hacking that can be learned in a classroom.

The MCITP-SA essentially (not directly, but for the mostpart) took over for the MCSE. Unfortunately when Microsoft made the switch, they lost the notable name that they had built. The MCITP-SA is now gaining that name recognition and 2012 will be a big year for the cert.
