Topic Abstract:
Since tools and technologies keep evolving, professionals in the industry – have to jump from vendor to vendor, platform to platform. This is where a vendor-neutral network security certification comes in useful because essentially security is way beyond tools and technologies, as it frees them from being chained to one platform.
