SCP Certifications

Network Security is essential to every business and organization. Data theft, loss of productivity and decreased profits are unfortunately commonplace due to security breaches. IT Security Pros must be specifically trained to think proactively. The Security Certified Program's SCNS, SCNP and SCNA certifications provide a solid knowledge of both defensive network security systems and the newer trusted needs of security.

Over the years, certification has become the foundation for verification of an employee's skill. The demand for IT professionals with skills in the fast changing world of network security have been hard to find. When those people are found, there has been no solid method of verification of those skills. The Security Certified Program has changed that.

Today's complex electronic world requires IT pros with security skills above the standard. The Security Certified Program ensures that employers know that those candidates holding SCP certifications have undergone extensive training, and have passed the difficult and detailed examinations.

Security Certified Network Architect

The Security Certified Network Architect (SCNA) certification follows the SCNP, and is designed for those candidates who wish to keep moving forward with their security careers.

The SCNA focuses on advanced areas of building trusted networks, such as digital certificates, digital signatures, and securing email, through advanced concepts, such as forensics and biometrics.

To become SCNA certified, candidates must hold an SCNP credential in good standing, and successfully pass two exams. These exams are named Enterprise Security Implementation (ESI) and The Solution Exam (TSE).

The ESI exam, number SC0-501, covers the material of both SCNA courses. The first course is Advanced Security Implementation (ASI). The second course is Enterprise Security Solutions (ESS).

The second exam, The Solution Exam (TSE), number SC0-502, covers all facets of the four SCP courses. TSE is an exciting and challenging exam that is entirely scenario-based, many of which will be several pages in length.
