Imagine this: You go to your doctor complaining about back pain. Sitting on his desk is a medical book from the early 1900’s. Doesn’t seem odd until the doctor opens it and says, “Well, let’s see what we can do for you.”
Does that instill confidence? Of course not.
Being current is the hallmark of a successful, trustworthy professional.
This is why certifications are increasingly becoming the backbone of technical teams in these fields. Not only do they validate skills and knowledge, but they also ignite a deeper interest and commitment to the industry's ongoing challenges and advancements.
Certifications = Benchmark of Competence
Certifications serve as a benchmark of competence that can be recognized across the industry. They offer several key advantages to both the individuals getting certified and the organizations. Certifications...
- Standardize Your Team. Certifications provide a standardized measure of the necessary skills and knowledge that cybersecurity and compliance staff need to be effective. This standardization helps in aligning the competencies of employees with the industry’s requirements.
- Keep Updated On Trends. The cybersecurity field is one that is on the frontline of technological advancement. Certifications require individuals to stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and practices, helping organizations remain at the cutting edge of security innovations.
- Make Sure They Perform. Certified professionals often exhibit higher productivity and a deeper understanding of their roles. This isn't just because they've passed a certification exam, but because the process of preparing for these exams fosters a more thorough and comprehensive approach to their daily tasks.
- Give Your Team Carrots. If you show them a path forward, they will work to get better. If you don’t, they won’t. It’s as simple as that. For many professionals, obtaining certifications is a clear path to career advancement. Certified staff are often seen as willing to go the extra mile for their professional development, making them prime candidates for leadership roles within their organizations.
- Build More Credibility Within Your MSP. From a client’s perspective, certifications instill confidence in the abilities of the consultants or organizations they decide to work with. They assure clients that the staff managing their cybersecurity are qualified and competent.
Certification = Solutions
Ongoing engagement and skill improvement is more critical today than ever. Certifications are a practical solution to this issue, offering ongoing goals and milestones that encourage continuous learning and engagement.
For technicians and service teams, the process of achieving and maintaining certifications can revitalize interest and enhance their understanding of their work. This, in turn, leads to more innovative thinking and improved problem-solving skills on the job.
