Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) vs. Security+ Certification

The Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) certification from (ISC)2 is a globally recognized security certification that targets IT professionals in roles such as network security engineer, system administrator, system engineer, security analyst, consultant, database administrator, and system or network analyst. SSCPs possess advanced security administration and operations skills. Successful candidates work in hands-on security roles and recommend and implement cybersecurity best practices, procedures and policies, as well as administer, monitor and implement secure IT infrastructures.

To earn the credential, candidates must pass the SSCP exam and have at least one year of full-time paid experience in one or more of the seven SSCP domains (Access Controls, Security Operations and Administration, Risk Identification, Monitoring and Analysis, Incident Response and Recovery, Cryptography, Network and Communications Security, and Systems and Application Security). The credential is valid for three years; 60 continuing professional education (CPE) credits and an annual maintenance fee of $65 are required to maintain the certification.

While the Security+ and SSCP are both excellent credentials, they are geared to different audiences. Security+ targets entry-level security practitioners who often work in roles such as information security analyst. The SSCP, on the other hand, is geared to IT professionals with more advanced skills in security operations and administration.
