1. Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC)
$131,298
The nonprofit group ISACA, which formerly stood for Information Systems Audit and Control Association, but now is an acronym only, offers and manages the CRISC certification. This certification is designed for IT professionals, project managers and others whose job it is to identify and manage IT and business risks through appropriate Information Systems (IS) controls. The CRISC certification from ISACA, introduced in 2010, covers the entire life cycle, from design to implementation to ongoing maintenance.
2. Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)
$128,156
ISACA also created and maintains the CISM certification. It’s aimed at management and focuses on security strategy and assessing the systems and policies in place.
3. AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate
$125,091
The AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate-level exam demonstrates an individual’s expertise in designing and deploying scalable systems on AWS. It’s unsurprising to see this certification in this year’s top 15 due to the market need for skilled and certified AWS solutions architects.
4. Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
$121,729
Offered by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2 as a vendor-neutral credential, CISSP is designed to prove security expertise. As with the other security-related certifications, demand is high and is projected to be so for many years to come, but unlike the others, you can earn an associate credential while working on the required experience, making this a valuable certification for those wanting to get into the security field.
5. Project Management Professional (PMP®)
$119,349
The fifth highest-paying certification is PMP. It was created and is administered by the Project Management Institute (PMI®) and is the most recognized project management certification.
6. Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA)
$115,471
CISA certification is usually obtained by those whose job responsibilities include auditing, monitoring, controlling, and/or assessing IT and/or business systems. It is designed to test the candidate’s ability to manage vulnerabilities and propose controls, processes, and updates to a company’s policies to ensure compliance with accepted IT and business standards.
Competitiveness factor: CISA certification is ISACA’s oldest, dating back to 1978, with more than 126,000 people certified since its inception
7. Citrix Certified Professional – Virtualization (CCP-V)
$105,086
CCP-V certifies that candidates can deploy applications and virtual desktops using a variety of Citrix technologies, primarily XenDesktop 7. CCP-V is a newer certification from Citrix that replaced Citrix Certified Enterprise Engineer (CCEE) certification, which was retired in November 2014.
8. ITIL® v3 Foundation
$103,408
Over the last 30 years, ITIL has become the most widely used framework for IT management in the world. Why? It’s a set of best practices for aligning the services IT provides with the needs of the organization. It covers everything from availability and capacity management to change and incident management, in addition to application and IT operations management. ITIL selects and authorizes partners who provide education, training and certifications. These authorized and accredited partners (Global Knowledge is one of them) develop the training and certification around the ITIL framework.
9. VMware Certified Professional 5 – Data Center Virtualization (VCP5-DCV)
$102,962
The VMware Certified Professional (VCP) is VMware’s oldest and its former entry-level certification. As VMware’s product portfolio has grown over the last several years, the company decided that a single certification was not sufficient. Now, VMware Certified Associate (VCA) is an entry-level certification, and several VCP tracks exist, enabling VCPs to specialize. Advanced tracks also exist to show greater depth of knowledge.
10. Citrix Certified Associate – Networking (CCA-N)
$102,598
CCA-N is also a newer certification from Citrix that replaced the Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA) for Access Gateway certification, which was retired in July 2016. Focused on implementing the NetScaler Gateway to provide access to desktops, applications, and data, it is different from the other CCA and CCP exams covered here in that the CCP-N does not require the CCA-N first as it is focused on using the NetScaler for traffic management, load balancing, and other network engineering tasks instead.
True Ink Associates periodically conduct ITIL, CISA, CRISC and CISM Review class for those who are interested.
