Security Pros See Career Growth

"Information Security has become a critical component of the enterprise.  Complex security solutions, regulatory requirements and encroaching threat advances are driving organizations to entrench security strategies and policies and rely on highly educated, highly qualified professionals who must perform an ever-growing list of activities such as threat mitigation, compliance auditing, and proactive security management and monitoring."

– Allan Carey, IDC, Study Leader: Global Information Security Workforce Study

What does this quote from a recent (ISC)2 press release have to do with you?  It means there's opportunity for career growth in IT security.  Bring the right skills to the table and you'll become an indispensable asset to your employer.

If you're looking for your next well-paying job – security is a great place to be.  IT Security employment numbers are expected to grow at 8.5% annually through 2009, according to (ISC)2.  Also, organizations are spending 43% of their budgets on their people – including both salary and training.  This means they're serious about getting and keeping qualified security pros.  If you're serious about your career, this equals opportunity for you.

You can create your next career "break" by learning the security essentials now.

If you crave a successful career in IT security, we have new security training for you:

The "Yin" and "Yang" of IT Security – Balance your skills for best results

The FBI recently surveyed 2,066 organizations – and 87% reported computer security breaches within the previous year.  That's not a very good track record.

But the real question is, "What are the other 13% doing?"

Those with airtight security approach it from all angles:

  1. They have a comprehensive strategy for keeping their networks and sensitive data secure.
  2. They use a real-world implementation plan to put security measures in place.
  3. Once they've created their security, they break it.  They attack their network.  If there's a way for hackers to get in, these top-notch security pros will find it first – and stop attacks before they happen.

How are you approaching your security?

[
If you want to be a top-notch security pro who is able to cover all the angles, we have training to help.  Our new Security Admin Essentials Combo Pack contains four different training series covering both the "Yin" and "Yang" – the "destructive" and "creative" sides – of IT security.  These are Certified Ethical Hacker, Security+, SSCP, and CISSP.

With this combined knowledge, you'll be confident taking on the roles of Security Admin, Analyst and Consultant.  You'll be able to create your organization's information security strategy and plan of action.  You'll know how to implement security measures.  The best part: you'll also have the skills to penetrate your security the way a hacker might – so you can plug the holes you find in your network's security before they cost you your job!

Don't forget – a Nugget Streaming Subscription is the least expensive way for you to begin watching all of our security training, today.  Plus you get access to the rest of our IT training catalog to watch when you want.  With a Nugget Streaming Subscription, you can start training immediately on the CBT Nuggets series of your choice.  And you get the privilege of having access to our new releases as soon as they're released – no waiting for delivery!

Two of the most under-utilized components in securing your network: Routers and Switches.

Essential Security Know-How for Every Cisco Professional

"Cisco routers and switches have a ton of built-in security features not many people know about.  For example, Cisco switches have the ability to block rogue DHCP servers from coming up on your network."

– Jeremy Cioara, CBT Nuggets Instructor

The security features in Cisco routers and switches are under-utilized.  This isn't because they aren't needed.  The opposite is actually true – these features are greatly needed.  Many people just don't know how to use them effectively.

Securing Networks with Cisco Routers and Switches is all about getting the best security functionality out of your core network hardware.  Learn VPN functionality for secured remote access.  Learn DHCP snooping to block rogue DHCP servers.  Learn how to use Identity-Based Networking Services to block denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.  And that's just the beginning.  If you ever work on Cisco routers and switches, this training is essential for the security of your network.
