ISC2 - Certified in Cybersecurity
Overview
This accelerated ISC2 Entry-Level Cybersecurity Certification course introduces the ultimate starting point for an exciting and rewarding career in cybersecurity —ISC2 entry-level cybersecurity certification. You don’t need work experience, just a passion and the drive to enter a challenging and rewarding field, one that protects the world from cyber threats and bad actors.
The entry-level cybersecurity certification enables students, incoming professionals and career changers to build confidence and enter their first cybersecurity role prepared for what’s next.
ISC2 has begun the exciting process of exploring the creation of a new certification. To fill the cybersecurity workforce gap, we need to address the workforce shortage facing the industry, especially among entry- and junior-level positions. A foundational cybersecurity certification will help ISC2 build a pathway to a rewarding career in cybersecurity for many around the world.
The entry-level cybersecurity certification will prove to employers you have the foundational knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for an entry- or junior-level cybersecurity role. It will signal your understanding of fundamental security best practices, policies and procedures, as well as your willingness and ability to learn more and grow on the job.
The ISC2 entry-level cybersecurity certification is the first step on a career-long journey that will help cybersecurity professionals gain experience and work toward advanced qualifications such as the ISC2 CISSP and ISC2 CCSP.
We believe a need still exists in our industry for a certification that is attainable for newcomers and recognizes the growing trend of people entering the cybersecurity workforce without direct IT experience. Employers need confidence that when hiring new entrants into the field they have a solid grasp of the right technical concepts, and a demonstrated aptitude to learn on the job. Moreover, as an ISC2 certification, the recipient will be an ISC2 member backed by the world’s largest network of certified cybersecurity professionals helping them continue their professional development and earn new achievements and qualifications throughout their career.
At the end of this course, you’ll achieve your ISC2 Entry-Level Cybersecurity Certification.
