The standard for security practitioners.
Worldwide.
|
|
ASIS
International has set the standards for certification
in security for more than 25 years. Certification plays
an important role in the security industry by identifying
high professional standards. As an indicator of qualifications,
certification is documented evidence of expertise and
experience. It is an objective means of distinguishing
highly competent security practitioners from their less
experienced peers.
Events
of the past decade have lead to a fundamental shift
in the security landscape, resulting in an ever-increasing
demand for heightened security to protect people, facilities,
assets and data on a global scale. Today, more than
ever before, organizations place a high degree of importance
on hiring, contracting with, and promoting credentialed
security practitioners.
The
independent Professional Certification Board (PCB) oversees
ASIS certifications.
