Let me guess, you've been dreaming of building a career in information security, but you can hardly afford the high cost of training institutes, as such you are now quite clueless on when, where or how to build your dream.
You don't need to wallow in confusion, not when there is an alternative route to the solution, possibly a better one. But just before we explore this alternative, we should better understand what information security is;
INFORMATION SECURITY can be defined as the process of protecting [electronic] information, as such the entire process functions to;
- protect the availability of information
- protect accessibility of information and
- protect the integrity of information
So now that you know what information security is, the next question is..
IS IT WORTH IT ?
YES!, apart from the pride and confidence that comes with the knowledge and skill, an average certified information security professional is paid an average of 250usd a day, that's right, 250 usd
a day,imagine that amount running into 30 days.....i'll let you do the math.
HOW?!
Get the right training from preferably a known and legally approved training institute.
Globally recognized certifications like CISA, CISM, CISSP and CEH demands a sound knowledge and understanding in information security from the candidate, in order to get them.
IT may only cost you money to register for these exams,which of course is a very good investment, but of what consequence will the money you invested be to you if you're going to flunk the exam? needless to say, the best way to avoid such an unnecessary waste of your hard-earned resources will be to build your confidence in this field of study by getting the right training; this can be done in two ways:
1: The real classroom training method where you get to meet your teachers one on one and have the opportunity to rapport with both the trainer and the training institute as a whole
It is the oldest, most preferred method of training but has the disadvantage of being
more expensive and has a relatively rigid time table.
As such, it is best for people who have a lot of time and money on their hands.
2: IF you're a working person, you'll naturally not have a lot of time on your hands, and if you're like
most people out there, you're also working with a tight budget, which simply means
that you don't have much time and money to spare for your training,
as such, you'll require a flexible training programme tailored to suit both your strict working hours
your learning ability and of course your purse!
if you find yourself in this situation, then i'll strongly recommend you go for
virtual training method is functions by simulating a virtual environment, in this case the virtual environment is a classroom,
and in this 'classroom', an instructor is able to explain, test
and show certain qualities which aid in the learning process.
it has the unbeatable advantages of very flexible with time, for instance, once gotten, can be easily controlled with the click of a button, as such one can easily; play, replay, rewind, fast-forward, slow down, stop or even pause the video for as long as he/she pleases at no cost.
Little wonder it has become so popular among both trainers and trainees. it is a very convenient way to learn in the comfort of your home, office, etc and at your own pace, typical examples of popular virtual training companies are VTC,
CBT NUGGETS, LEARN KEY SOLUTIONS, etc.
