Q: “What will I get out of it (certification) besides a title?”

A: The benefits of certification are numerous in addition to being able to put the initials “CCSP” after your name:
  • Certification programs act as a means of establishing standards within their given industry. In a sense, certification allows members of the communications security profession to participate in monitoring themselves rather than leaving a void for the regulators, i.e., government agencies, to possibly fill with externally imposed standards.
  • Certification testifies that you, the candidate/member, have attained those criteria necessary to achieve the designation – experience, education and association activity.
  • Reflects your commitment to continuing education.
  • Denotes a level of expertise and achievement.
  • Recognition of achievement from your peers and associates.
