Today I have met with some guy on Internet, who is really professional in security vulnerabilities. I found out that he has lots of Security Certifications in this area. I just asked him which is really needed and valuable for entry level. He recommended 2 directions, it’s:
- CIW Web Security series;
- Certified Ethical Hacker;
CIW Web Security series
It has 3 levels (from beginner to really experienced role):
- CIW Web Security Associate;
- CIW Web Security Specialist;
- CIW Web Security Professional;
But if you want to take Specialist or Professional exam, firstly you have to pass other certificates. The more detailed information you can find in the following document from CIW website where you can check detailed requirements.
