The security industry is undergoing significant change.
This change will create huge opportunities for those who
are prepared. Technological change driven by IP based
sensors and alarm systems coupled with integration of
identity management and systems security with the
physical alarm systems and monitoring will create a significant
demand for professionals who understand both aspects (physical and information systems) of security. The Technolytics Institute is the first certifying body to design, develop, and deliver an integrated program. In all areas of
life, practitioners are judged by their skill and ethics. Our certification programs focus on the seamless integration
|
 |
| of physical security, information security and several areas of risk to organizations of any size. Our certifications address a range of skill sets from entry level security and broad based security essentials to advanced subject areas like money laundering and corporate espionage. The training materials we have developed and use in our certification process have been distributed across many professions.

Security professionals will further need to diversify their skill sets, driving pay higher. While continuing to master new techniques for protecting systems and excel in niches (e.g. enterprise risk), security professionals will be under more pressure than ever to
understand their organization's entire operations, pinpoint the security risks that are most threatening to the organization's performance, and expertly package and internally market solutions to a wider variety of stakeholders. Funding for security skills
will increasingly be directed to upper-echelon impacting IT workers in larger bonuses. Certification is one step to moving up in the corporate and government environments. Professionals worldwide indicated that information security is now being perceived as
a business enabler rather than a business expense; and as a result, they are increasingly being included in strategic discussions with the most senior levels of management. |

Technology alone cannot protect an organization's critical information assets. Employers are now demanding a more highly qualified information security staff to give their organizations the level of security they need. To compete in the digital age, security
professionals need more knowledge today than ever before. The amount of information and knowledge security professionals require seems to multiply each day, leading to a continuous learning cycle for these workers. Security professionals need to do
more than just develop a skill-set to ensure that they remain competitive in the job market. Today corporations, government agencies, small companies, and nonprofit organizations all require and utilize certified security professionals. Our programs are designed
to keep the certified professional up-to-date. The security threat environment is constantly changing and mandates continuous education and awareness. We believe true professionals ask themselves these three questions daily.
1. What don’t I know that I should?
2. What has happened since I was last at work?
3. What are the new threats that I need to be aware of?
As security professionals look for activities to fulfill their continuing education requirements,
they are increasingly turning to Technolytics and our 74 training modules
to stay up-to-date and retain their certifications. |

Qualifications
Our certification is founded on the principle that our certified professionals are relied upon to conduct their work in a manner that will reflect credit on them and honor their profession. Although this principle is universally understood, its importance is more usually recognized in cases of professional misconduct. It is therefore necessary that every certified profession define and enforce among their peers strict rules of professional conduct.
Ethics and Integrity
Integrity - is an element of character fundamental to professional certification. It is the quality from which the client’s trust derives and the benchmark against which a certified professional must ultimately test all decisions. Integrity requires a professional to be, among other things, unbiased, honest and candid within the constraints of client confidentiality. Service and the client’s trust should not be subordinated to personal gain and advantage. Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent error and the honest
difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or subordination of principle.
Integrity is measured in terms of what is right and just. In the absence of specific rules,
standards, guidance, or in the face of conflicting opinions, a certified professional
should test decisions and deeds by asking:
1. Am I doing what a person of integrity would do?
2. How would this look on 60 Minutes?
3. Have I retained my integrity?
Certificants must remove themselves from potential conflict of interest situations and other prohibited professional conduct. Additionally, certificants have to refrain from offering or accepting inappropriate payments, gifts or other forms of compensation for personal gain, unless in conformity with applicable laws or customs of the country where management services are being provided.
Finally, certificants have the responsibility to maintain and respect the confidentiality of sensitive information obtained in the course of professional activities or otherwise where a clear obligation exists. Certificants have the responsibility to recognize and respect intellectual property developed or owned by others, and to otherwise act in an accurate, truthful and complete manner, including all activities related to professional work and research. Integrity requires a professional to observe both the form and the spirit of technical and ethical standards; circumvention of those standards constitutes subordination of judgment.
