                             Introduction                             
======================================================================
In the computer security or Information security fields, there are a
number of tracks a professional can take to demonstrate
qualifications. Four sources categorizing these, and many other
credentials, licenses, and certifications, are:

# Schools and universities
# Vendor-sponsored credentials (e.g. Microsoft, Cisco)
# Association- and organization-sponsored credentials
# Governmental (or quasi-governmental) licenses, certifications, and
credentials

Quality and acceptance vary worldwide for IT security credentials,
from well-known and high-quality examples like a master's degree in
the field from an accredited school, CISSP, and Microsoft
certification, to a controversial list of many dozens of lesser-known
credentials and organizations.

In addition to certification obtained by taking courses and/or passing
exams (and in the case of CISSP and others noted below, demonstrating
experience and/or being recommended or given a reference from an
existing credential holder), award certificates also are given for
winning government, university or industry-sponsored competitions,
including team competitions and contests.
