Cyber certification for Guernsey specialist

Friday 01 March 2019

Information Security Consultant, James Ogier has achieved a globally recognised advanced cyber security certification, the Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP).

Working for Resolution IT, he is one of just three people in Guernsey with the cyber certification.

Mr Ogier said; "It involved several months of hard study, adding many additional hours to my already busy working week, so it’s a fairly big commitment to make. I took the exam in Southampton and was delighted to have passed. The certification content very much relates to security best practice in any size of organisation and highlights areas in Information Security that may otherwise take a back step but are equally, if not more important. The cyber landscape is evolving so quickly there is a massive worldwide shortage of skilled professionals. It’s therefore important to keep on top of certifications. It’s also great to be one of only three that hold the certification on the island and less than 500 in the UK."

Olly Duquemin, CEO at Resolution IT said: "Cyber security is such a growing and important area of our business and James is part of our rapidly expanding cyber security team. A team which we are proud to say, continues to study for and achieve certifications in global cyber security qualifications which massively benefit the cyber security advice and support we are able to offer our clients. We’re delighted with James’ achievement."
