IT Security

In a world fraught with security threats, the need for skilled and knowledgeable information security professionals has never been greater. Certification by a respected accreditation organization is becoming indispensable to the information security professional. With each new advance in connectivity and convenience comes a new wave of threats to privacy and security capable of destroying a company’s reputation, violating a consumer’s privacy, compromising intellectual property, and in some cases endangering personal safety. This is why it is essential for information security professionals to stay up to date with the latest advances in technology and the new security threats they create. Let the University of Arizona South provide the IT security training to help you become certified.
Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) - If you have at least five years of experience in information security, CISSP® training and credentials should be your next career goal.  CISSP certification from ISC² will give you the professional career acknowledgement that you need in today’s information security industry.

Quality training for the CISSP exam typically costs two-to-three times what UASCE charges, and you have TDY costs in addition! If you have the security experience and are ready to add a highly valued certification to your resume, this is the class for you - and it's local!. Most students who has taken the CISSP exam after attending UASCE CISSP training have passed.  While many students will have strengths in different areas of Information Security, very few students or security practitioners will have intimate knowledge of all ten knowledge areas of the Common Body of Knowledge [CBK] tested on the CISSP exam.

Even in a troubled economy, most businesses plan to maintain or increase their investment in security. CompTIA Security+ is an international, vendor-neutral certification that proves competency in system security, network infrastructure, access control and organizational security.
Small class size and quality of materials makes Security+ one of the most popular classes at the University of Arizona South. Updated Information Assurance training is available in our Continuing Education Department evenings or during the week.
