Growing Opportunities
While the certified computer security consultant field is not as
mainstream as the A+ Certification, Networking Certification or the
MCSE, the field is growing in prominence and has lots of
opportunity.
Many types of civil and criminal cases use information revealed
by a computer security consultant as evidence. Corporations and
insurance companies also will use the services of a computer
security consultant.
There are three basic areas within the computer security
consultant field. They are
- computer security
- network security
- and expert witness forensics.
Each field requires a person to have the natural instincts of
who, what, where, when, why, and how at their disposal to be an
expert as a computer security consultant. Combine this with basic
computer knowledge and a whole new career is waiting.
Computer Forensics
Corporations are increasingly becoming concerned with security
and computer forensics. More than ever, companies are tasked with
the examination of attempted hacking attacks and allegations of
employee computer misuse. Mishandling of these concerns can cost
companies millions.
As a computer security consultant you can offer solutions that
will ensure a long list of loyal clients. Companies must handle each
in a legal and defensible manner. This requires trained computer
security consultant skills. If you are looking to gain this type of
knowledge, the CCE (Certified Computer Examiner) is one
certification to consider.
While the income is wonderful as a computer security consultant,
don't expect to start empty handed. There are some basic tools you
will need. Tools such as password recovery tools, data viewer, disk
wiping utilities and more. While this can be a sizeable initial
investment, it can be rewarded many times over in a short amount of
time.
