  • 1.  IBM Security Guardium Administrator Certification

    Hello all,
    Anyone please confirm when IBM plans to launch latest Guardium administrator certification. The certification available on portal is for v10.1.2 but latest available Guardium version I think is v11.2. So, anybody please tell when v11 certifications be available on portal? Thanks in advance.

    In checking, it looks like the Guardium Admin cert exam is still at 10.  As a prep for that exam, the Guardium Foundations course is listed and it has been updated to version 11. 

    The folks that provide the certification exams asked a few questions that I am hoping you can answer. They were curious on the need for certification on the latest version.  Is it a job credential?  Personal desire?  Trying to understand how you use it, and if a badge or other credential may also work?  Please let me know when you can.

    I would say credential and a confirmation that you somwhat understand the software.

    A solution could be to remove the version name from the certificaiton. 
    For example, instead of IBM Certified Administrator - Security Guardium V10.0 - just have IBM Certified Guardium Administrator and this certification will teach the fundamentals of Guardium.

    On top of that you could have a more advanced Certificaiton called IBM Certified Guardium Engineer I/II - where you learn how to troubleshoot, the inner workings of guardium etc.

    Thank you Carrie for confirming. Yes, it is required for my job because some employer and my current management say that you must be certified with latest versions of softwares. A badge is also helpful but they need certificate also. somehow I managed to convince them for v10 certification because I think IBM isn't planning to release v11 certifications in this year. May be they will confirm on next year.
