The Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) Certification Will Prove
Your Worth

Are you looking for a career in Information Technology? The Check
Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) certification is a
good choice to add to your credentials as a Network Security
specialist.

The CCSA has not only become a highly recognized and sought after
credential to help you get the job, it verifies your knowledge
and improves your practical application skills to help you keep
the job.

As a company, Check Point Software Technologies has become the de
facto standard among corporate firewalls, security gateways, VPN
appliances and software. There are no other security applications
that are more widely used in Fortune 500 companies, medical,
legal and government organizations.

Whether it is for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, HIPAA, or meeting
the requirements for the PCI Data Security Standard, Check Point
appliances and software consistently outperform the competition.

Obtaining CCSA certification is vital for network engineers,
network security specialists, security administrators and anyone
tasked with managing a Check Point device.

While the course outline indicates that no prior experience is
required, a firm knowledge of operating systems, servers, network
topologies and protocols will ensure your success in this course
work.

Most experts will agree that the CompTIA A+ and Microsoft
Certified Professional (MCP) certifications are good starting
points, but your choice of other certifications will depend on
your career objectives.

During the CCSA training course you'll learn details about basic
networking security including:

* How to create a security policy and establish rules;

* Network Address Translation;

* How to use traffic monitoring tools, block attacks and audit
reports;

* Configuration of various authentication schemes;

* LDAP Integration;

* Establishing virtual private networks (VPN) between networks;

* Backup and Restore of Check Point applications.

In addition you'll learn about a variety of Check Point products
and how they can be used to secure a company's network, filter
email, manage access to Internet content with URL filtering, and
tune a network to handle Voice over IP (VoIP).

Common to all Check Point appliances is a powerful software
operating system, which enables organizations to perform all
aspects of security management via a single, unified console.

If you are already a highly skilled network specialist, or if you
already have other industry certifications, you may require a
week or two of concentrated study time. Others with basic
computer and network skills will need at least 4 weeks to
complete the CCSA study course.

Don't cheat yourself - the exam can be tricky. Take advantage of
the practice exams and repeat them until you can pass at least
three times before attempting the certification exam.

Once you have passed the CCSA exam don't expect to be an expert
for long; technology changes and constant continuing education is
critical. Keep your skills sharp, expand your library, and add
other industry certifications to your portfolio.

Not only will you be able to proudly display your CCSA
certificate, you'll have the knowledge and skills to increase
your value to your employer, which as you know could potentially
increase your salary as you prove your worth time and again.
