Security competency gets revamped

MCP Magazine | at | by Mike

As a response to partners seeking help from Microsoft in its never-ending battle to keep customers secure, Microsoft says it has restructured the Security Solutions competency into two specializations with revised requirements.

In the process, Microsoft also sought an assist from outside its walls, partnering with two key security groups, the Information Systems Audit and Control Association and the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium ((ISC)2).

Microsoft says it has taken a "technology agnostic" approach within its Security Solutions competency, splitting it into two specializations that address technical issues and the other that looks at security policy and risk management, governance, and auditing.
