Overview of the CompTIA Executive Certificate in IT Security (Foundations).

SACRAMENTO, CA. October 5, 2007. Today, Cameron Park Computer Services announced that its President, Mark Anthony Germanos, achieved the CompTIA Executive Certificate in IT Security (Foundations) designation. CompTIA reports “All too often IT security is viewed as a necessary evil, if not as an outright barrier to doing business. Changing that perception requires a certain finesse in designing and implementing solutions. It means applying granular, rather than crude controls. The goal of this training is to facilitate a solution provider’s transformation into a trusted IT security advisor. Attendees learn to gauge the impact of emerging trends on their customers’ businesses, to explore ways to facilitate meaningful conversations and to leverage those conversations in the design and implementation of appropriate IT solutions.”

“This certification validates our training and practices,” reports Germanos. “Security is now in the foreground of keeping a business in business. We’ve heard too many stories of companies that had some lapse. They incurred embarrassing, costly and devastating breaches. While some may survive, others won’t. Would your business survive having its trade secrets become public knowledge?

The CompTIA Executive Certificate has three prerequisite courses.

Course 1.

Security is a core component to every technology provider business. In this course, solution providers discover what it takes to become a trusted advisor, explore what comprehensive IT protection looks like and scrutinize the investments required to be successful.

Course 2.

In this course, solution providers explore the process for completing a risk analysis, including how to assess the emerging risks and trends in the IT industry. Those completing the course receive a risk analysis tool they can use to assess their clients’ needs.

Course 3.

For solution providers with a solid IT security business, this course helps to build on their success. Attendees learn to develop strategies that account for their customers’ business needs as well as the current IT landscape. In addition, the session explores strategies to address current IT trends, including unified threat management, cloud security, and the impact of a mobile and social workforce.

Summary.

IT Security is not for the faint-hearted or for the jack of all trades business owner who thinks he can figure it out. You’re running a business. Hire a professional. Contact us today.
