Professional development in information security

Again, the article on Infobezopasnosti, more precisely about how to become a certified specialist in information security: How and where to learn? What are the challenges to become a specialist in the field of information security? How to get a certificate for the IB recognized worldwide? The answers to all these questions in the review of our instructor CA - Kuzma Pashkov

Due to the rapid development of information technology in general and information security (IS), as a science, in particular, a specialist in information security is necessary to solve the problem of maintaining their skills. This is true for more than a decade, but nowadays the following conclusions from it about solving this problem are significantly different from those that were relevant 10 years ago. One of the main reasons for these differences is to complete the transition to a risk-based approach to the construction of automated systems in the protected execution to the normative. There are two versions of approaches:

• The risk-based approach
• Normative Approach

In an era of risk-based approach focused on building a business model and identify the necessary and sufficient conditions for meeting the requirements of security policy.

A system of protection were piece goods that are in demand mainly government agencies and large commercial organizations. To complete the work in the field of information security specialist was enough to have developed mathematical apparatus, which is produced in higher vocational education students from leading technical universities.

With all the variety of business models and established safety policy terms of their performance in the majority of cases are the same. This fact is due to let go to the normative approach of building security systems, where the focus of information security specialist devotes search, analysis and adaptation of a suitable family of open security standards. Also coated version of the automated systems become widely-popular service for all spheres of human activity.

Education IB

Thus specialist IB necessarily need to specialize in some of the following areas:

• implementation of the requirements of national laws and / or regulators (eg, access to state or commercial secrets)
• The use of certified information security specific vendors / manufacturers (engineering, commissioning, etc.).
• internationally recognized certification vendornezavisimye

Training of specialists in the first two areas spends a lot of educational institutions, both in the higher and additional vocational training. It should be understood that these areas are tied to professional employers in a particular country, but rather allow it to conduct its activities almost exclusively in the framework of national legislation and standards.



The advantages of international certification

The third area is initially focused on international open standards and methodology for information security in the hope that the developed / developing countries seek to harmonize their national legislation with international standards and in connection with the fundamental advantages of the latter. Specialist with internationally recognized certifications in the field of information security is ready to adapt their experience to work in any country, and most importantly to confirm their qualification to any employer that all else being equal gives him an advantage over other candidates for the vacancy.

Due to a number of reasons, primarily historical and political, in our country with a significant delay are adopted international standards of information security, and national legislation in this field is harmonized with the international even slower. But accelerating progress of globalization will inevitably lead us to a natural result, so an increasing number of professionals looking for IB confirm its expertise in international recognized certification.
