Emergency Management/Business Continuity Certs

the_Grinch

Well, I've finally decided that this is the aspect of security I would like to concentrate in. I've done quite a few courses related to it in my undergrad and I've found a graduate program to continue with. Now, though, I want to know which certs I should look at? I'll still be working/learning regular computing security, but I'd like to focus on the whole Business Continuity/Emergency Management/Disaster Recovery aspect mainly. Thanks!

Those are some of the domains of the CISSP. You may want to also look at certifications from ISACA and/or SANS, but I'm not really familiar with those.

Actually I would recommend looking at DRII (https://www.drii.org/) for DR/BCP and spend lots of time reading NIST SP800-34

I didn't know they got certification for BCP. The better training you can get is from local OEM or FEMA about Emergency management/Govn't.

I know many college offer graduate program in EM right now.

In order to understand and implement BCP. From my point of view and past experience, you need to be good in BA and IA. Otherwise I don't see what will make a good candidate to be BCP consultant.
