Security Professionals Network

The Security Professionals Network is a new network for professionals with responsibility for security issues including Security Managers and Specialists; IT Administrators and Managers with Security Responsibilities and Business Managers concerned about Information Security. It is supported by Espion Research, and the Ernst & Young Technology & Security Risk Services Group.

The purpose of the Network is to:

• advance the knowledge, skills and recognition of IT security professionals
• provide access to networking opportunities and continuous professional development
• promote professional certification of Security Professionals

In a related move, ICS Skills and Espion Research have entered a partnership agreement to jointly promote their respective End-User and Professional-level security certifications. The ICS Skills NETASSURE programme for End-User IT Security Awareness was developed to help combat the persistent IT security problems that stem from poor user education. NETASSURE is a stand-alone, to-the-point training course that focuses on the key aspects of PC security and safe computing. Successful candidates are certified by ICS Skills.
