Across the IT industry, certification is on the rise. What was once a “resume boost” has become a requirement for navigating the complexity of hybrid infrastructure, multi-cloud operations, and modern security mandates.
As both practitioners and enterprises look for ways to keep pace with change, certification offers a tangible solution to security breaches and an ever-changing technology landscape.
Certified staff add measurable financial value to their teams. In the 2024 IT Skills & Salary Report, 22% of organizations estimated that a single certified employee brings $30,000 or more in added value to their organization.
Security Expertise from Certification
The latest industry reports are clear: many security breaches start with simple misconfigurations. Virtualization and cloud platforms are no exception.
According to SentinelOne, almost 23% of cloud security incidents are caused specifically by cloud misconfiguration alone.
Strong teams need technical knowledge to rely on in the face of an ever-changing security landscape. VMware certifications help address these problems by embedding security expertise directly into training and exams.
Instead of falling victim to misconfigurations and breaches, certified professionals are hardening clusters, segmenting networks, encrypting workloads, and patching environments with discipline.
As threats rise, certification is becoming one of the most effective ways to validate that teams and individuals know how to defend the infrastructure they build.
