Overview

Should we expand our limited resources and time gaining IT security certifications such as CISSP, CAP, and Security+? What are the risks and the return on investment (ROI)?

In this hour-long seminar, security expert Jim Litchko will provide the answers to these questions from two perspectives: the corporation and the individual. Jim will provide insights and successful strategies for ensuring that resources are effectively deployed and motivational incentives are used to increase individual certifications. He will also provide new variables for calculating related ROI.
