Linux, Security Certifications Gain Popularity

Linux, Security Certifications Gain Popularity There are a couple of good articles here. The main article is here and there is a Certmag.com article "The Big Payoff: CertMag’s 2004 Salary Survey" which says the same thing with more proof.

A good point the first article mentioned is that the results showed that during 2004 Microsoft certifications were a good investment. "Next year will be an interesting one for IT certifications," said Henry Allain, CertCities' group publisher. "As the eclectic mix on this year's hot cert list shows, Cisco, Microsoft and security certifications will continue to do well, but 2005 may be anything but typical. This diversity can only be good for the industry as well as for individual IT professionals."



It looks like it will be a good time to be involved with Linux over the next couple of years.
