Taught by leading industry security professionals who are part of a worldwide network of Global Education Partners, the new program covers every key aspect of configuring and managing security with CyberGuard appliances. Successful completion of the certificate programs earns participants CyberGuard Firewall Security Administrator (CFSA) and CyberGuard Firewall Security Officer (CFSO) credentials.
"CyberGuard recognizes that providing the industry's most secure firewall/VPN appliance is not sufficient to ensure that networks are secured," said Tom Gobeille, president and CEO of Network Computing Architects of Bellevue, Wash., one of CyberGuard's authorized Global Education Centers.
"The new technical certification programs provide the knowledge security professionals need to ensure the successful implementation of their network security policy," added David Beesley, technical director of Network Defence Limited in Merseyside, UK, another authorized Global Education Center.
