The Social Media Security Professional (SMSP) Certification attests to individual's knowledge of social networking channels and the risks these pose on the security
posture of an organization. SMSP professionals have the skills necessary to anticipate attacks and guard sensitive information from social media hackers, and,
in the event of a breach, have tools to quickly respond to security incidents. SMSPs have proven competency to help guide organization's social media personnel
security policy.
Certified SMSPs are the organization's first line of defense from social media security attacks.
