Professional in Critical Infrastructure Protection (PCIP – formerly CCISP)

Critical infrastructure is defined by the office of Homeland Security as those assets, facilities, industries, and capabilities that are needed to support commerce and our daily lives. This includes SCADA, energy, utility, oil & gas, financial, communications, and transportation to name a few.

Since the birth of the internet, the threats that these industries face are becoming increasingly more complex, and alarmingly more common, as these, once isolated, environments are now faced with viruses, hackers, cyber terrorists, and remote threats of high available system outages. Securing the systems and network environments that support this critical infrastructure is more important in today's world now more than ever and requires an extended set of specialized skills.

The PCIP certification (formerly the CCISP), maintained by the Critical Infrastructure Institute, is different than other security certifications in that it is tailored specifically to the Critical Infrastructure sectors and the Critical Infrastructure Protection Industry (CIP). Professionals carrying the PCIP designation will have demonstrated the necessary knowledge and professional skills required for designing, maintaining, and managing security architectures for critical infrastructure, SCADA, and high-availability environments. These skills range from security architecture design & management to highly advanced technical skills such as those used by hackers to circumvent security measures as well as countermeasure techniques all specific to these critical infrastructure, SCADA, and high availability environments.

For authenticity purposes, all recipients, along with their certification number, are maintained in a secure database and each recipient carries a PCIP ID card.
