| Titre | Do you need certifications to get an InfoSec job? |
| Texte | I’ve seen Tweets and heard many discussions about certifications, like CISSP, CEH, OSCP and so on, in InfoSec. No doubt certifications have value – in many situations hiring managers are quickly going through resumes and certifications are symbolic of at least book-learning, and some degree of dedication to InfoSec. Certifications can be expensive and time consuming so having them clears the bar of at least slightly dedicated.

You're less impacted at smaller shops because there are fewer steps between resume submission and the hiring authority. 1/2 — Jake Williams (@MalwareJake) October 14, 2019 Given two equally qualified candidates, the one with certifications might have the edge: That said, if I have two equally qualified candidates and one has a cert, I'll take them because some clients ask/care. But there are things more important to me than certs: Conference talks GitHub (more than just college assignments) A blog Thoughtful social media feed 2/2 — Jake Williams (@MalwareJake) October 14, 2019 Several folks were sensitive to the cost of attaining some certifications reaching greater than $1000. They suggested more affordable options. Some certifications are affordable on e |
