The Certified Internet
Webmaster’s CIW Security Analyst
is a mid to high level,
vendor-neutral, certification for
IT professionals who configure,
manage and deploy e-business
solutions servers; and implement
e-business and network security
solutions. The CIW Security
Analyst is a great way to leverage
a networking administration
certification.
The CIW Security Analyst
certification emerged in 2001. In
terms of recertification, CIW
exams may be retired for various
reasons, including releaseof a new
exam series, changes to related
certification programs, or
determination by the IT industry
that a job role has become
obsolete. Once retired, the exam
is no longer available at testing
centers, although in some cases
candidates can still apply credit
for a retired exam version toward
a multi-exam certification. CIW
offers six months prior notice for
retirement of any exam so that
interested candidates have time to
prepare and take the exam while it
is still available.
Job roles of those pursuing
this certification typically
include: network server
administrators, firewall
administrators, systems
administrators, application
developers and IT security
officers.
