3 IT Security Certifications Small VARs and MSPs Must Have to Show Clients They Are Serious About Data Security

SP Home Run Inc. Shares Which IT Security Certifications Instantly Provide Credibility


WEBWIRE –

LAKE WORTH, FL - Standing out among all of the other small VARs and MSPs can be very difficult for a local IT business. However, third-party credentials, such as IT security certifications, make this much easier and are a proven way to differentiate small IT resellers and MSPs. Simply put, these certifications show existing clients and potential small business clients that an IT business is very serious about data security. Within today’s Internet-centric world, IT security has quickly become a fast-growing field, leading to rapidly-growing demand both for IT professionals and IT services businesses.

SP Home Run Inc. recommends the following three IT security certifications for small VARs and MSPs looking for a very rapid credibility boost:

  • CompTIA Security+ - This exam covers network security, cryptography, identity management, and compliance. It is vendor-neutral with no prerequisites. However, two years of networking experience are recommended.
  • CISSP - This is a vendor-neutral certification that is administered by (ISC)2. At least five years of security experience is required. The exam covers the 10 areas in the Common Book of Knowledge (CBK).
  • CEH - This qualification is administered by the EC-Council, with a focus on web and application protection, preventing the penetration of networks and applications, as well as seeking out vulnerabilities. The Certified Ethical Hacker qualification includes 19 modules focusing on subjects like viruses and session hijacking.
"Data security specialists have become pretty important within the past few years" said Joshua Feinberg, Business Development Director of SP Home Run Inc. "Because of the constant security threats that affect small and large businesses, IT security certifications can be a very wise investment for a small VAR or MSP to help them distinguish themselves from the competition"
