efficiently.
For IT managers, certification is particularly important
because it allows them to more easily identify the skills that an individual
possesses. When a company has employees that possess certain skills, it can
garner a competitive advantage when seeking to attract customers. Certification
can also contribute to increased productivity, because studies have shown that
certified individuals are generally quicker to implement and design new
technologies. And of course by knowing that their employees are certified, IT
managers can feel more confident about their ability to implement and support a
network infrastructure.
Looking at security in particular, recent surveys from
CompTIA and others show that human error, rather than technical malfunction, is
the most significant cause of IT security breaches in both the public and
private sectors. When asked, an overwhelming majority of companies agree that
employee training and certification programs improve network security and help
protect against cyber threats. In fact, most companies identify a lack of IT
security knowledge and training, or failure to follow security procedures, as
the root causes of many of their security issues.
Also, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in its
National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, has said that the two major barriers to
improving cyber-security are a lack of familiarity, knowledge and understanding
of security issues, and an inability to find sufficient numbers of adequately
trained or appropriately certified personnel to create and manage secure
systems. So there are real benefits in organizations ensuring that their IT
professionals have the right skills to reduce the effects of human error on
information security.
