Prometric to Introduce “More Affordable” IT Certification to Market

Prometric, a market-leading company in test development and delivery, is set to launch a new, "more affordable" IT certification, Cyber Security Essentials.

Cyber Security Essentials was developed by Prometric in collaboration with senior IT engineers and subject matter experts who themselves hold IT credentials — such as CISSP, CISA and CEH — and work in Cyber Security, Network Security, Digital Forensics, Computer Hacking Forensic Investigation and Ethical Hacking.

"Cyber Security Essentials provides business and IT professionals a more affordable certification option, created by experts who are practicing the most current cyber security methods in the field.

Looking on Prometric's own page, the exam is normally valued at $199.95, however it can be taken for $149.95 with Discount Promo Code: PROCYBER

Not sure how it compares to the more economically priced exam from Microsoft (MTA: Security Fundamentals).
