Why Should I Get SecurityX Certified?

January 3, 2025

SecurityX is the industry standard for advanced-level competency in risk management, enterprise security operations and architecture, research and collaboration, and integration of enterprise security.

SecurityX is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to meet directive 8140/8570.01-M requirements. The updated SecurityX certification is especially helpful for positions such as the following:

  • Security architect
  • Security engineer
  • Technical lead analyst
  • Application security engineer

Many organizations look for SecurityX certification when hiring. For example, U.S. Army, Dell, Verizon and Booz Allen Hamilton all look for SecurityX certification while making employment decisions.

Top reasons to get SecurityX certified
