Security and Compliance

Progent offers fast and affordable access to CISSP-certified network security consulting experts. CISSP is the most esteemed network security credential in the IT industry and denotes proven mastery of a international standard for network security. To be granted the CISSP credential, candidates must show in-depth knowledge of advanced information security solutions and confirm years of hands-on work experience.

American National Standards Institute has awarded the CISSP credential official recognition in the field of network security under ISO/IEC 17024. This represents the first time that an information technology accreditation has been assigned ANSI approval. CISSP is also formally approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in their Information Assurance Technical and Managerial categories. In addition, CISSP has been approved as a standard for the U.S. NSA's Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP) program to safeguard the National Information Infrastructure (NII).
