Extending the program's value and purpose, PatchLink's Professional Service has joined efforts with (ISC)2 to offer PatchLink trainees who hold either (ISC)2's Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and/or Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) credentials Continued Professional Education (CPE) credits to maintain accreditation. Additionally, PatchLink has selected Thomson Prometric to provide trusted, proctored certification delivery to achieve unparalleled credibility for its training.
