Luckily there’s still time for you to build knowledge and get certified this year. Aim to achieve one of these top 5 cyber security certifications to boost your career, skills, and salary.
1. EC-Council - Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)
In 2016 two-thirds of large UK firms were targeted by cyber criminals and cyber crime costs
reached £4.9 trillion. Clearly, it’s now more important than ever
to secure your business.
For organisations that don’t invest in cyber security, getting hacked is just a matter of time. However even those that do prepare are sometimes breached using backdoors unknown to their security teams.
Master the same tools and techniques that hackers use to steal data and bankrupt businesses. By learning how to crack your own systems, you’ll be better able to secure your own organisation.
Learn how to think like a cyber criminal; there’s still time to become a Certified Ethical Hacker this year. Get CEH-certified in just 5 days with Firebrand’s award-winning ethical hacking training.
