Appendix E. Security Accreditations
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
—Aristotle, 384–322 BC
At some point in your career as a security consultant, regardless of your field of specialization, you are going to consider acquiring some form of industry accreditation.

However, you may be looking for something to get you in the door or perhaps you just like letters after your name. Either way, I'm going to run over some of the options you have on both sides of the Atlantic and let you make up your own mind.
