Study Shows Companies Requiring IT Security Certification

Posted by Kara Reeder Apr 29, 2009 9:39:46 AM

A recent study by the Computing Technology Industry Association shows that more companies are requiring IT security certification.

 

According to InformationWeek, 32 percent of companies said they required IT security certification last year, compared to only 20 percent in 2006. In addition, 87 percent of respondents said that training non-IT employees improves security by increasing awareness and risk identification.

 

The CompTIA study also reveals that the top security issues are spyware, virus and worm attacks, and lack of user awareness.
