The SSCP has been listed in the top 10 list of cybersecurity certifications. It's perfect as a stand alone certification or a complement to the CompTIA Security+, Certified Ethical Hacker, Cisco CyberOps Associate or Linux Security Administrator. It lays the foundation for more advanced certifications such as CISSP, CASP+ as well as a career as an IT security manager or consultant.
The SSCP is ideal for IT administrators, managers, directors and network security professionals responsible for the hands-on operational security of their organization’s critical assets, including those in the following positions:
- Network Security Engineer
- Systems Administrator
- Security Analyst
- Systems Engineer
- Security Consultant/Specialist
- Security Administrator
- Systems/Network Analyst

If you are considering a career in cyber security, the SSCP is the perfect stepping stone. More advanced certifications, such as the CISSP, require several years of experience. The SSCP exam complements others with similar objectives (listed above), dramatically cutting down your study efforts but increasing your results.
This course prepares you for the new version of the exam.
