We’re bringing the following to you this September:
- New Knowledge Credential: Identity Security Expert
We’re introducing the Identity Security Expert. A brand-new knowledge credential aligned with the Identity Security Engineer training path. This training-based exam is designed to validate your understanding of the required prerequisite courses and offers a clear next step for Identity Security Engineers looking to demonstrate their skills.
- Additionally, we’re giving engineers deeper hands-on exposure and advanced technical knowledge by migrating the in-depth, 20-hour Extend Identity Security Cloud course to the Identity Security Engineer path.
- Significant Changes to the Identity Security Professional Credential
The Identity Security Professional credential is getting a major refresh! To ensure Identity Security Administrators are continuously tested on the most relevant, up-to-date knowledge, this updated knowledge credential reflects the latest training and requirements within the Identity Security Administrator path
- Candidates will no longer be tested on the Extend Identity Security Cloud training course when sitting for the Identity Security Professional Credential exam.
- 4 New Courses
To support these updates, we’re adding brand new training content: three new courses within the Identity Security Administrator training path, plus one new course within the Identity Security Engineer training path.
Want to become an Identity Security Engineer?
It’s important to follow both the Identity Security Administrator and Identity Security Engineer training paths. The Identity Security Engineer path builds upon the foundation established in the Identity Security Administrator training path, making it a critical continuation for those looking to grow into more advanced engineering roles.
