 Check Point Security Administration certifications: You can earn certifications related to Check Point’s firewall and other security products. Visit www.checkpoint.com/certification.

 CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker): We know, we know — an “ethical hacker” is a contradiction in terms to some people, but it provides real business value for others. Read about it carefully before signing up. This certification is offered by the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council). You can find out more at https://cert.eccouncil.org.

 ENSA (Network Security Administrator): Also from EC Council, this certification recognizes the defensive view as opposed to the offensive view of CEH. You can read more at https://cert.eccouncil.org.

 CompTIA Security+: A security competency certification for PC techs and the like. We consider this certification an entry-level certification that may not be for you. Still, you may advise your aspiring colleagues who want to get into information security that this certification is an excellent place to start. You can find out more at www.comptia.org/certifications/security.

 OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional): Offered by Offensive Security, OSCP is considered one of the top penetration testing certifications available. Many people consider CEH the entry-level pen testing cert and OSCP the top dog. Find out more at www.offensive-security.com.
