According to the recent Certification Magazine 2015 IT security salary survey, Symantec certifications are some of the most valuable IT certifications.
According to Certification Magazine, “Recent estimates project that, by 2019, there will be more than 1.5 million unfilled IT security jobs worldwide.”
“Certification offers a nice double benefit here: Rapid and comprehensive training for aspiring security professionals, and reassurance for hiring managers who want to pay a lot of money to the right person, with the right skills and knowledge.”
What’s also interesting about Symantec’s standing in the certification industry is that our primary competitors are vendor-neutral, product-agnostic companies who only specialize in IT security training and certification. Why is a Symantec-specific certification so powerful? IT professionals recognize the critical need to not only understand theoretical security concepts but also have the expertise and product knowledge necessary for the practical day-to-day fight to secure today’s complex networks, data, and systems. Companies recognize the value the Symantec Certification brand as the largest IT cyber security company in the world; and, they are offering higher salaries to candidates who can prove that they know how to keep systems and information safe.
