Certifications in Security
The standard for security practitioners. Worldwide.
ASIS International has set the standards
for certification in security for more than 25 years. Certification plays an
important role in the security industry by identifying high professional
standards. As an indicator of qualifications, certification is documented
evidence of expertise and experience. It is an objective means of
distinguishing highly competent security practitioners from their less
experienced peers.
Events of the past decade have lead to a
fundamental shift in the security landscape, resulting in an ever-increasing
demand for heightened security to protect people, facilities, assets and data
on a global scale. Today, more than ever before, organizations place a high
degree of importance on hiring, contracting with, and promoting credentialed
security practitioners.
